In summary
Barras Heath is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,125 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #20 of 42 in Coventry.

Typical homes here, about £220,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 29% in five years (from 66 sales), in line with the wider Coventry median of £230,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,725 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.
