In summary

The Park & Castle is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #2,932 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #4 of 37 in Nottingham.

Typical homes here sold for about £275,000 over the past year, down 1% across five years (from 89 sales), 38% above the wider Nottingham median of £200,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,420 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.

Recorded incidents, not convictions. 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.
