Our new tool crunches the numbers to show how much your neighbours make and how you compare.
Broken down into more than 7,200 areas across England and Wales, it shows the average household income for each neighbourhood and how much disposable income is left once taxes and housing costs are subtracted.
This year, the neighbourhoods of Richmond Park, Sheen Gate and Petersham, in south-west London, top the ranking. There, average total household income, before tax and housing costs, is £128,590, according to the data. Herne Hill and Dulwich, South Kensington and Kew Gardens, all in south or south-west London, also make the cut.
At the bottom of the list is Grimsby East Marsh and Port, where household incomes are just a fifth of those in Richmond Park – at £25,414 a year.

Javier Milei, Argentina’s president, told The Telegraph that negotiations had begun on overhauling restrictions that had held back his country’s military since the Falklands War.
“There are no world powers without military power,” he said. “There is no country that counts in the international context if they can’t defend their borders.” The Telegraph can reveal that Mr Milei is set to become the first Argentinian president to visit Britain since 1998. Our Foreign Editor, Louis Emanuel, has the exclusive.

There’s a sense in Bangkok of a country that’s lost patience and wants to teach its neighbour a lesson by crippling its military capabilities. Reported air strikes include attacks on Chinese-made PHL-03 rockets, capable of striking deep into Thai territory. This highlights a paradox: even as Beijing calls for peace, Chinese-made weapons have played a role in fuelling escalations.

| The apple doesn’t fall far... Every weekday, Orlando Bird, our loyal Reader Correspondent, shares an off-piste topic that has brought out the best of your opinions and stories. Orlando writes...
In his famous, expletive-laden poem “This Be The Verse”, Philip Larkin laments how parents “fill you with the faults they had”. Well, that’s one way of looking at it. But Angela Epstein’s article on this admittedly sometimes mortifying fact of life, “Seven signs you are turning into your mother”, strikes a more affectionate tone.
Readers could certainly relate, and I’ve enjoyed your responses. Inga Ashworth wrote: “My mum used to try to give me random lamps, cutlery, spare bedding and other ‘useful things’ that I was sure I never needed. Well, now I’ve become her. I hear myself telling my daughter: ‘Look! I found this gorgeous linen bedding, my friends are getting rid of some unwanted inherited paintings, I found some lovely Alessi cat bowls...’”
Pamela Davis, meanwhile, noted that “my days are regimented, just like my mother’s were. Coffee at 10.30am, lunch at 12.45pm, a cup of tea at 4pm, dinner at 6.30pm. No deviation”.
Sally Joanne Vaughan finds herself “calling on mum’s phrases since she died so often that I ask my partner: ‘What would she have said in this situation?’ We both know them all by heart now.”
Another reader knew something was up when she started “plumping up cushions last thing at night. It used to make me furious but now… it’s me”.
Of course, it’s not just maternal traits that make their way down the generations. Colin Thomas explained: “I’ve partly turned into my dad. He retired and did all of the shopping and tidying in the house. Now that I’m retired I do the same. The only difference is that when dad went on his shopping trips he would pop into the nearest pub, whereas I might use them as an excuse to sneak a coffee and a cake.” Which parental habits are now yours? Send us your responses here, and the most appetising of the bunch will feature in a future edition of From the Editor PM. You can sign up here to read the responses.
