In summary

Wellow is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,344 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #9 of 22 in North East Lincolnshire.

Typical homes here sold for about £167,000 over the past year, up 15% across five years (from 114 sales), in line with the wider North East Lincolnshire median of £165,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,401 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.
