In summary

Chippenham South & East sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,501 of 6,856 in England, and #59 of 64 in Wiltshire. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (91) but weak on Employment (35). Typical homes here sold for about £270,000 over the past year, up 10% across five years (from 161 sales), 16% below the wider Wiltshire median of £320,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,877 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £36,903 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 111 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, above the England rate of 83.
