In summary
City Centre East is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,125 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #5 of 15 in Norwich. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (69) but weak on Crime (5). Typical homes here sold for about £200,000 over the past year, broadly flat over five years (+3%) (from 142 sales), 14% below the wider Norwich median of £233,200. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,521 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £37,603 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 328 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well above the England rate of 83.
