In summary

Driffield Central is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #4,070 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #36 of 43 in East Riding of Yorkshire. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (90) but weak on Education (30). Typical homes here sold for about £166,750 over the past year, up 18% across five years (from 124 sales), 26% below the wider East Riding of Yorkshire median of £225,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,058 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.
