Default Tube Map + Property Values

Here's something I think would be interesting...

I'd like to see a tube map cut into zones representing the property values
of the area around the tube station. I don't know London that well, but I
know places like Amersham and Cockfosters are pretty wealthy areas, in
addition to the obvious central section. I've heard areas around Limehouse
and Westferry are rather poor and depressed areas, for example.

Westferry's far from poor, at least, what I've seen of it!

Could anyone whip up something like this? It would really help someone like
me, who loves the tube and wants to explore London using it, but doesn't
want to get off at a shady place and get mugged.

You're basically likely to get mugged if you wander around looking lost,
or use your mobile phone in an obvious place. If you walk around
looking as though you know where you're going, you are far less likely
to be marked out as vulnerable.
