Great site

Cool, could you possibly explain the "deprivation section" of the statistics.

Those are the results for my area, I am not entirely sure what some of the numbers mean, haha.

Of the three indices they've got in the little box, the first means that Lewisham is the 57th most deprived local authority in England (see the little scale thingy just above that) when everything is taken into account and averaged, the second means that it's the 23rd most "income deprived" (this is the closest to the measure of poverty in the U.S, btw) LA, and the last one means that it's the 37th most deprived for employment.

Thanks. Hmmm, didn't realise Lewisham was so far down the scale in England.

It's largely because of Deptford IIRC

Quite possible.
