In summary

Kingstanding South West is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,207 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #33 of 132 in Birmingham. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (85) but weak on Living environment (23). Typical homes here, about £210,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 31% in five years (from 108 sales), 11% below the wider Birmingham median of £237,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,704 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £34,917 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 59 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, below the England rate of 83.
