In summary

Chilwell West sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,487 of 6,856 in England, and #12 of 14 in Broxtowe. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (94) but weak on Employment (32). Typical homes here, about £260,500 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 41% in five years (from 82 sales), in line with the wider Broxtowe median of £250,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,713 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £38,265 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 82 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, close to the England rate of 83.
