In summary

Coxhoe & Quarrington Hill is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,351 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #20 of 65 in County Durham.

Typical homes here sold for about £157,000 over the past year, up 10% across five years (from 138 sales), 9% above the wider County Durham median of £144,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,338 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.
