In summary
Melton Mowbray West is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,180 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #6 of just 6 in Melton. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (81) but weak on Education (21). Typical homes here, about £232,500 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 25% in five years (from 141 sales), 15% below the wider Melton median of £272,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #2,031 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £39,240 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 85 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, close to the England rate of 83.
