In summary

Lozells West is one of the most-deprived 10% of neighbourhoods in England, sitting at #6,819 of 6,856 nationally on the deprivation index, and #131 of 132 in Birmingham. Across the seven themes it scores highest on Housing & access (29) and lowest on Income (0). Too few homes have sold here recently to report a reliable local price, so the house-price figures fall back to the wider Birmingham area. Typical household take-home income is around £25,087 a year, among England's lowest. Recorded crime ran at 127 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, above the England rate of 83.

Recorded incidents, not convictions. Crimes are counted where they happen while residents are counted where they live, so busy town-centre, retail and nightlife areas show high per-resident rates because visitors bring incidents with them.
