In summary

Belper Town is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #2,898 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #10 of 16 in Amber Valley.

Typical homes here sold for about £228,975 over the past year, up 20% across five years (from 140 sales), in line with the wider Amber Valley median of £230,000.
