Affordable housing in Enfield comes at the cost of high deprivation. While the median house price is 10.6 times median annual pay and rent takes 47.2% of gross median earnings, both below London medians, the borough's deprivation score is 25.78, ranking among the highest in the capital. Council tax is also higher than the London median at £2,268. Recorded crime is near the London average. However, schools are exceptional, with 100% of pupils in Good or Outstanding places, the best in the region. This suits families prioritising school quality and relative affordability over lower deprivation.
