- Latest-month crime, normalised against London
- Parks, GPs, libraries and supermarkets within 1km
- Family density: how many other families already live there
- Commute times to six central London hubs
- A Family Score ranked against every London postcode we cover
- Honest caveats: we tell you where the data is thin
