In summary

Whitmore Park is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #3,912 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #17 of 42 in Coventry. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (83) but weak on Health (25). Typical homes here sold for about £250,000 over the past year, up 14% across five years (from 66 sales), 9% above the wider Coventry median of £230,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,976 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £35,486 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 56 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, below the England rate of 83.
