Wollstonecraft Woolwich

Wollstonecraft and Woolwich are neighbouring areas with very different housing and age profiles. Wollstonecraft is a high-density area where 79.3% of homes are flats or apartments and renting is far higher at 49.1%. It is a younger, more diverse place where 41.7% of people were born overseas and the typical resident is 38. In contrast, Woolwich is dominated by separate houses (66.3%) and is far older, with a typical resident aged 52 and 32.9% of the population aged 65 and over.

Everyday life shares several similarities, as both areas have high school advantage scores and almost all homes in both are within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, the two areas are moving in different directions. Wollstonecraft has seen a rise in people moving in over the last five years, which is consistent with its higher share of renters and more diverse population. Meanwhile, Woolwich remains more stable, with far more people owning their homes outright (56.0%) and a much higher share of residents who are retired.
