In summary

Sherwood Vale is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #4,036 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #6 of 37 in Nottingham. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Education (84) but weak on Living environment (3). Typical homes here, about £236,500 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 34% in five years (from 120 sales), 18% above the wider Nottingham median of £200,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,898 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £39,709 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 108 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, above the England rate of 83.

Crimes are counted where they happen while residents are counted where they live, so busy town-centre, retail and nightlife areas show high per-resident rates because visitors bring incidents with them.
