Research suggests that people with disabilities are at a higher risk of being victims of violence than non-disabled people, with the risk increasing for people with mental health illnesses. Table 4 shows that, based on data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW), a higher proportion of women than men worry about violent …
Certain Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups are at higher risk of diet-related poor health. For example, stroke and type 2 diabetes risk is higher in the Black African Caribbean community and South Asians are at higher risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In the UK (like the US), fast-food outlets tend …
Economic activity by ethnicity is not available in detail for Hackney or City residents. Figure 8 shows the breakdown for London as a whole. White London residents are more likely to be employed, and less likely to be unemployed or economically inactive, than almost all Black, Asian and other minority ethnic (BAME) groups. Mixed, Pakistani …
Figure 4 shows that inequality in attainment by ethnicity increases across the life course in Hackney residents. In the Early Years, there are no real differences between different ethnic groups, but in Key Stage 2 and at GCSE Asian pupils do significantly better than average. In adulthood ethnic disparities are most marked, with over half …

As such, they are a potentially valuable setting for targeted interventions to reduce health inequalities. A larger number of women than men are active library users (information on gender was not provided by 4% of …
There is strong evidence that greater opportunities for gambling (i.e. availability and accessibility of venues) increases the number of regular and problem gamblers in an area. There are 25 betting shops per 100,000 resident population in Hackney. Meaningful estimates for the City are not available (comparison of betting shops) National surveys show that 68% …
Local survey data showed that Hackney residents from a Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds are less likely to be satisfied with the local area (83%) compared with the average for all residents (90%). However, Black residents are more likely to agree that the local area has improved over the past five years (52% …
The 2011 Census found that owner occupation is most common among White British and White Other households in Hackney, while Black ethnic groups are the least likely to be owner occupiers and most likely to be living in social housing (Figure 6). In the City, White Other and Asian residents are the most likely to …
Figure 6 shows that, in Hackney and the City, the rate of primary care attendance across the different age groups is similar in most ethnic groups, with the exception of British or Mixed British children (where rates are relatively higher among 15-19 year olds) and Asian children (where attendance rates decrease with increasing age). Overall, …
