In summary

Deer Park & Leigham is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,228 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #15 of 33 in Plymouth.

Typical homes here sold for about £200,000 over the past year, up 24% across five years (from 115 sales), 12% below the wider Plymouth median of £227,500.
