In summary

Chatteris sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,549 of 6,856 in England, and #2 of 11 in Fenland. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Living environment (86) but weak on Education (21). Typical homes here, about £235,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 27% in five years (from 187 sales), in line with the wider Fenland median of £231,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,355 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £38,192 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 56 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, below the England rate of 83.
