Typical homes here sold for about £280,000 over the past year, down 1% across five years (from 125 sales), in line with the wider Somerset median of £285,000.

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.
