In summary

Quarry Bank is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,317 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #25 of 43 in Dudley.

Typical homes here, about £218,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 30% in five years (from 93 sales), 10% below the wider Dudley median of £241,250. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,969 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.

Recorded crime ran at 74 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, close to 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.
