It's not 2011. How many non white, upper-middle class people do you think have moved to Hackney Wick in the last year?

Sadly, 2011 is the latest available ward-level data. But are you really contending that within five years the demographic has changed from 58pc white British to 100pc white British, and from around 49pc white-collar jobs to 100pc?
Edit to add - I'm including 'Associate Professional & Technical' in white-collar jobs, but technically the upper-middle class employment brackets are only 28pc of the workforce in the area. A bit above average, sure, but far from 100pc.

58pc of the Hackney Wick population was white British in the 2011 census - above the London-wide average of 45pc, but well below the national average of 87pc.
I've attached the employment segmentation. Yeah, there are more white-collar jobs than the national average, but it's an exaggeration to say everyone is upper-middle class.
