East London Prosperity Index

The UK’s first citizen-led Prosperity Index measures what matters to the prosperity of local communities in London. the Index reports on 15 headline indicators that people living and working in five east London neighbourhoods identified as important to their prosperity. The 15 headline indicators are based on the results of extensive qualitative research led by citizen scientists and involving residents, community groups, local politicians and public agencies. The research asked what prosperity means to people and what supports and prevents people and local communities from thriving. The Prosperity Index for London is compiled from specially-commissioned household survey data, which compares the local experience to the average for Greater London. It is a new way of bringing local priorities to decision-making; a method that has been piloted in east London and can be applied to communities around the UK.
