In summary

Holbeach is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #3,892 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #7 of 11 in South Holland. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Living environment (84) but weak on Education (20). Typical homes here sold for about £220,000 over the past year, up 18% across five years (from 173 sales), 6% below the wider South Holland median of £235,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,493 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £28,737 a year, among England's lowest. Recorded crime ran at 79 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, close to 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.
