In summary

West Coseley is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,125 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #22 of 43 in Dudley.

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.
