Read the detailed evaluation

Crime in context

Recorded crime in the local area has fallen by 23.2% compared with a year ago, to 2,554 incidents. The leading category has changed over the longer comparison, moving from other theft to theft from the person. That gives a clearer picture of the area’s recent pattern than the headline total alone. The figure is based on local-area grain, so it describes the surrounding neighbourhood rather than an exact postcode unit.

House prices

The median sale price for the wider district is £925,000. This is a district-level figure, so it gives a broad market picture rather than a postcode-level reading. No property-type breakdown is available here, so there is not enough detail to compare flats, terraces, or larger homes. The figure is still useful as a marker of the local sales market, but it should be read at district scale.

Flood risk

The current flood band is listed as none identified. That is the only flood fact provided, so it should be read as the current classification only. There is no change-over-time flood information here, and nothing in the facts supports any wider claim about trends or causes.
