10. The <strong>London</strong> 2012 Games and their legacy – an update<br />
diverse selection of these, relat<strong>in</strong>g to green space, crime, cycl<strong>in</strong>g frequency,<br />
educational atta<strong>in</strong>ment and house prices. These are of both general and specific<br />
<strong>in</strong>terest, although aga<strong>in</strong> primarily highlight the diversity of the six Growth Boroughs.<br />
So, for example, reported crime rates <strong>in</strong> 2014/15 <strong>in</strong> each of the six Growth<br />
Boroughs are <strong>in</strong> fact lower than the average for <strong>in</strong>ner <strong>London</strong>, and have decl<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
s<strong>in</strong>ce 2012/13. Hackney rema<strong>in</strong>s the borough with the highest rates of cycl<strong>in</strong>g<br />
compared to the other Growth Boroughs, however significant growth is seen <strong>in</strong><br />
Tower Hamlets, where the percentage of adults who cycle at least once a month is<br />
now higher than the <strong>in</strong>ner <strong>London</strong> average.<br />
Average house prices rema<strong>in</strong> generally lower than average for <strong>in</strong>ner <strong>London</strong>, but the<br />
median house price <strong>in</strong> all Growth Boroughs has <strong>in</strong>creased between 2011 and 2014,<br />
with particularly large <strong>in</strong>creases (of around 40 per cent) <strong>in</strong> Hackney and Waltham<br />
Forest. The difference <strong>in</strong> house prices <strong>in</strong> part reflects substantial differences <strong>in</strong> the<br />
nature of the dwell<strong>in</strong>g stock <strong>in</strong> each borough, and should not of itself be taken as an<br />
<strong>in</strong>dicator of relative deprivation.<br />
