Safety: Crime rates are low here at 40 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: With prices averaging £108k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, up 14.9% year-on-year. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
