In summary

Town East is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #3,871 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #11 of 13 in Rugby. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (94) but weak on Living environment (12). Typical homes here sold for about £209,250 over the past year, up 20% across five years (from 84 sales), 30% below the wider Rugby median of £300,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,311 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £37,230 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 70 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, below the England rate of 83.

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.
