In summary

Foley Park is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #4,097 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #10 of 14 in Wyre Forest. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (87) but weak on Education (28). Typical homes here sold for about £205,000 over the past year, up 16% across five years (from 115 sales), 20% below the wider Wyre Forest median of £255,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,537 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £33,030 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 99 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, above the England rate of 83.
