In summary
Cranbrook is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #2,850 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #15 of 21 in East Devon. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Living environment (99) but weak on Housing & access (15). Typical homes here sold for about £269,000 over the past year, up 11% across five years (from 130 sales), 18% below the wider East Devon median of £330,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,257 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £52,074 a year, in the top third of England. Recorded crime ran at 57 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, below the England rate of 83.
