• Boroughs were much more likely to meet their target for 'intermediate' affordable housing than for new social housing.

• Council waiting lists suggest there is huge unmet demand for social housing in London.

The proportion of working-age adults claiming an out-of-work benefit in London is about the same as in the rest of England.

Overall, there has been no increase in the proportion of working-age Londoners claiming an out-of-work benefit since 2007.

However, all boroughs in Outer London have seen rises (which are balanced by falls in some Inner London boroughs).

The difference in newly homeless households by borough is one of the starkest on this site. The proportion of households accepted as homeless in Tower Hamlets is 8 times higher than in Merton, Harrow or Camden.

• Homelessness acceptances came down in most boroughs between 2007/8 and 2009-10.

• The numbers accepted as homeless depend on different boroughs' different local policies. These figures should not therefore be seen as accurately reflecting the levels of new homelessness in each borough.
