(b) HOUSING CONDITIONS.
(1) General observations as to housing conditions.
The standard of the houses in Wimbledon is extremely good.
The houses, with very few exceptions, are well constructed,
modern and sanitary. This applies not only to North Wimbledon,
where there is an extremely valuable type of house property, but
also to the southern parts of the Borough, which are more
especially inhabited by the artisan and working classes.
(2) Sufficiency of supply of houses.
(a) The absence of suitable building sites for the erection of
houses for persons of smaller means is largely responsible for
the housing shortage in Wimbledon.
(b) There has been no important change in the population
of Wimbledon in the year under review. Neither is any change
anticipated in the immediate future.
