What these figures do and do not say
Every value on this page describes a neighbourhood of roughly 1,500 people, not a street, a building or a household. Where this page gives one number for Stockton-on-Tees, it is a summary of those neighbourhoods: the median of them for prices and rankings, and a population-weighted average for crime rates. Two houses on the same road can fall in different neighbourhoods.
Deprivation is a relative ranking of areas against each other, not a measure of anyone's circumstances. Every deprived area contains people who are not deprived, and every affluent area contains people who are struggling.
Recorded crime counts offences reported to and recorded by the police, which is not the same as crime committed. Rates are per resident, so a town centre with far more daytime visitors than residents reads worse than the risk to any one person in it.
