About usThe local population and areas served by Homerton are categorised by a striking diversity of needs. Hackney is one of the most urban and cosmopolitan areas in the country with high levels of poverty and deprivation. There are substantial immigrant and migrant populations. Many languages are spoken and ethnic minority communities constitute over 50% of the population. Hackney's population at around 250,000 is young, mobile and expanding, and the birth rate is rising.
The classic features of the inner city environment - poor housing and limited employment opportunities - are known to have a major negative impact on the health of the people living in Hackney. Hackney's housing spans Victorian terraces and municipal estates ranging from low-rise blocks built in the 1930s and 1940s to high-rise concrete towers of the 1960s and 1970s. In addition to the many deprived housing estates there are an increasing number of areas which are becoming popular with more affluent residents. It also boasts some of the best parks in London, there is a thriving artist community and it is home to many small businesses and shops.
The population is among the most multi-ethnic in the UK. People from the Caribbean, Africa & Turkey are among the larger groups.
