Trust for London: London Poverty Profile and Cost of Living Tracker

We created the Trust for London’s Poverty Profile and its recent Cost of Living tracker.
For the Poverty Profile, we worked with the Trust to update the evidence base, including implications of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis on poverty and inequality in the capital.
As well as doing the data analysis that underpins both projects, we supported the team at the Trust to write up the findings and show the information is an accessible way.
Over the last few months, we have layered in insights from the Census 2021, which has enabled us to produce maps that explore deprivation for different groups within the city.
We have so far explored the relationship between deprivation and ethnic diversity, disability, gender identity, children, young people and older people.

“It’s been a pleasure working alongside the WPI Economics team on producing London’s Cost of Living Tracker. We’ve appreciated their professional and flexible approach, combined with in depth expertise. The data produced by the team really helps to add weight and impact to the human insights around poverty we share.”
