My ACORN profile (Golders Green, Temple Fortune)

Often, many of the people who live in this sort of postcode will be affluent urban professionals living in flats. These are known as type 15 in the ACORN classification and 1.17% of the UK’s population live in this type.
Neighbourhoods fitting this profile are found primarily in London (Wandsworth, Hammersmith and Fulham, Merton, Kensington and Chelsea, Richmond-upon-Thames and Ealing) as well as in Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh. Here is an overview of the likely preferences and features of your neighbourhood:

These people live in affluent urban areas, where large attractive houses have often been converted into flats. Whilst many do own their home, the proportion of rented accommodation is relatively high. People in this type are very highly qualified; one in four have postgraduate and professional qualifications. They work in professional and senior managerial occupations, with many spending very long hours at work. Most residents are either young singles or couples. There are very few children and those there are tend to be under five, which suggests that young families move on from these areas. As one of the highest earning types, they have relatively high disposable incomes. They invest in a broad range of products including high interest accounts, ISAs, and stocks and shares. They are comfortable using the Internet to do their financial research. In the winter, this type is the most likely to go skiing. They will then take at least one other holiday which is usually foreign and often far flung. When at home they take advantage of the range of theatre and arts available to them from living in the city. They also enjoy good food and wine, both at home and in restaurants. They are interested in current affairs and are very likely to buy a daily paper, which they probably read as they commute to work. They usually choose from The Guardian, Independent, The Times and Financial Times. At the weekend they like The Sunday Times and Observer.

This ACORN profile is relatively more accurate than "Deprivation" report as it has investigated my neighbourhood, which is not large area, instead of the whole Barnet council. For a marketing plan it seems more trustworthy. As I live in this area completely accidentally and it is going to be short time, all aspects of this profile does not necessarily apply to me. As I live here temporarily and I don't have a proper job and I've just started my new life in the UK I suppose the first three prefrences; family income, interest in current affaires and housing status wouldn't apply to me. However, it is true that I'm studying to degree level, we are a young couple with no children and we don't have sattelite as watchiong TV is more like an English class rather than entertainment for us.
