In summary

Holgate West sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,206 of 6,856 in England, and #20 of 24 in York. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (97) but weak on Health (36). Typical homes here, about £274,500 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 31% in five years (from 140 sales), 8% below the wider York median of £300,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,640 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £38,400 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 80 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, close to the England rate of 83.

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.
