Trust in the community

[Peckham Park]

Interesting bit of research mentioned in Times today

The think tank Onward has created the first ever “trust map” of the country, revealing at a granular level those places where trust among communities are at their highest and lowest levels. The research, which has been presented to the levelling-up secretary Michael Gove, used the Office of National Statistics’ standardised question on trust. This asks people on a scale of one to five whether “generally speaking, people can be trusted or that you can’t be too careful in dealing with people?”

Compared to the national median, East Dulwich not doing too badly. Residents of Dulwich Village and Herne Hill seem more trusting. Interestingly, East Dulwich low on carefulness.

Totally meaningless waste of public money like most of the stuff Gove has been involved in.

I take it you don't "trust" the results then Alice 😅

1) not sure it was publicly-funded, alice. Did you read the report? https://www.ukonward.com/reports/good-neighbours/

2) there's a clear positive relationship between wealth and trust. Look at the diagrams in the middle of the report.

3) there's also a weaker negative relationship between population density and trust, and between Remain sentiment and trust. The latter is probably a consequence of the former.

4) I'm not statistically smart enough to know if any of these relationships are material.
