Demographics

Hatch End is an outer suburban area which has experienced a rise in population since the early twentieth century due to the demographic processes of suburbanisation and urban-rural migration. It is served by good transport links into London Euston and therefore has a predominantly white, affluent population (491st highest mean income of 630 election Wards in London{Paycheck 2004}). Many of the residents have moved to the area from districts closer to central London in search of a better quality of suburban life.^{[citation needed]}. Euston station, also known as London Euston, is a major railway station to the north of central London in the London Borough of Camden. ...

Day to day migration movements involve the daily commute into London. Its tree lined streets, open spaces and proximity to rural countryside as well as its leisure amenities and restaurants make Hatch End one of the most desirable places to live in the capital^{[citation needed]}. Migrants into the area often cannot afford to move into detached properties which themselves account for 31% of the total housing stock in Hatch End. On the whole the area is safer, cleaner and less polluted than inner city suburbs, and has a lower crime rate.

54% of the population are Christian. The area is also one of many North-West London Jewish communities, of which Jews make up 12% of the population. Consequently the area has two synagogues (a third in neighbouring Pinner) and a kosher butcher. The suburb is home to a Hindu community which represents 12% of the population, although this figure is comparatively low compared to the borough average of 20%.
