Council financial contextNo listed financial warning
What this means

No section 114 notice, exceptional financial support, council tax rise above the usual limit or government intervention recorded for Dacorum (list reviewed 26 September 2026: section 114 notices since 2020, exceptional support and council tax limits for 2024-25 to 2026-27, and current government interventions).

An affluent neighbourhood, with signals pointing away from gentrification

An affluent neighbourhood: household income after housing costs higher than 86% of neighbourhoods in England, and houses around £450k, dearer than 75%.

Full summary

recorded crime here fell 5% over two years (Dacorum +5%), council-wide prices in Dacorum rose 3.0% in the year to July 2026 (East of England +0.5%, England +1.1%), as did house resales in this neighbourhood (+7% from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025), rents across Dacorum rose 1.3% in the year to August 2026 (East of England +3.5%, England +4.0%) and recorded crime here is in line with Dacorum (62 against 68 a year per 1,000 residents).

But area signals point away from gentrification (4 of 17 signals falling against the borough, 2 rising).

Local venue mix

Experimental

The price positioning of nearby shops, food venues, hotels and recognised health-club brands.

Too few classified venues

0 of 0 mapped venues within 1 km have a known position. 0 are unclassified and do not move the bar. Nearby venues carry more weight.

Coverage and calculation

Experimental. Existing brand positions run from 1 (budget) to 5 (luxury). Each distinct venue uses the first matching distance band: within 250 m ×3; within 500 m ×2; within 1000 m ×1. Average these positions using the distance weights, then map 1–5 to 0–100 (3 becomes 50). At least 5 classified venues are needed. Reviewed gym tiers use premium=4, mid=3, budget=2 for this experiment only. Budget-led through 37.5; Premium-led from 62.5; otherwise Mixed. Unclassified venues are excluded from the calculation. This changes no existing score.

0 mapped venues are unclassified. Health coverage is limited to reviewed gym brands; independent gyms, spas and clinical services have no price or quality classification. Hotel stars are OpenStreetMap volunteer tags, not an official rating. Volunteer mapping and the classified subset are not a census of every venue.

Department for Work and Pensions, Stat-Xplore; Office for National Statistics, Claimant Count (Nomis); Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, Local Council Tax Support

Children under 16 in relative low-income families (before housing costs) in each financial year, as a share of residents aged 0 to 15 at the 2021 census, a fixed base. DWP definitions: a child is in relative low income when their family's income before housing costs, adjusted for the size and make-up of the household, is below 60% of the median that year; income includes earnings, state support and pensions. Only families claiming Child Benefit and at least one other household benefit (Universal Credit, tax credits or Housing Benefit) are counted. Stat-Xplore holds these figures from 2021/22 on 2021 boundaries; DWP's earlier years (from 2014/15) were published on older boundaries and are not connected. Neighbourhood: Dacorum 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021). Ward figures are in the row below: no count of all children by ward is loaded, so the ward is not drawn as a share.

Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first month after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); 2: August 2022, the first month DWP marks people moved across from older benefits by Move to UC. People on Universal Credit on the second Thursday of each month (May 2013 to May 2026), all ages, as a share of residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base: population change since 2021 is not reflected. Neighbourhood: Dacorum 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021). Universal Credit has been replacing six older benefits (income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, income-related Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Housing Benefit, Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit) since 2013. It was rolled out area by area until it took new claims in every Jobcentre in December 2018 (shaded): the rise until then shows the roll-out, not more people claiming, so the reading above starts in May 2019. DWP's Move to UC (managed migration) has also been moving people across from those benefits since 2022, so growth since then partly reflects that move, not only more people claiming. In May 2026, 61 of the 361 people on Universal Credit here, and 1,421,184 of the 7,222,784 in England, had moved across from older benefits through Move to UC (DWP marks them from August 2022). Recent months are provisional (the latest is dashed) and DWP revises them. All-age UC claimants divided by residents aged 16–64; not the percentage of working-age residents claiming.

OpenStreetMap volunteer coverage varies; positioning describes brands, not the people who use them.

How to read this profile

Current economic standing and historical gentrification answer different questions: an established affluent area can show little recent change. These are the latest held snapshots, not simultaneous measurements: Census employment and occupations describe March 2021. Compare each source, date and population before drawing conclusions.

The saved Affluence today model uses household income (weight 3), resale prices (2), income deprivation (3) and overall deprivation (1). Employment, occupations, child low income, benefits and amenities provide separate context and do not alter that model. Missing values are not zero. Benefits overlap and must not be added; Universal Credit includes people in work. PIP is disability support, not unemployment. NS-SEC uses current or last job and does not identify technology-sector workers. Premium venues describe local provision, not residents’ wealth.

Percentage bars share a 0–100 scale; they are not scores.

Today's characterAffluent

An affluent neighbourhood: household income after housing costs higher than 86% of neighbourhoods in England, and houses around £450k, dearer than 75%. Area signals point away from gentrification against Dacorum (the gentrification indication). How well off the neighbourhood is today, from 4 money measures listed in the full evidence; a label, not a score.

    People on Universal Credit: May 2023 → May 2026: 270 → 300 here (+11%) against 10,669 → 12,638 across Dacorum (+18%), a gap of −7 points. People on Universal Credit (DWP Stat-Xplore). Leaves out people DWP marks as moved across from older benefits by Move to UC (61 here and 2,844 across Dacorum in May 2026), whose arrival would otherwise read as more need.

Housing Benefit and Universal Credit housing entitlement together, every tenure, so claims moving from one to the other are not counted as change (DWP Stat-Xplore). Rising faster than the borough counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.

    Pension Credit: February 2023 → March 2026 (the nearest earlier quarter DWP publishes): 57 → 61 here (+7%) against 2,046 → 2,177 across Dacorum (+6%), a gap of +1 points.

Local Council Tax Support claimants, pensioners and working age together (MHCLG), as a share of households: the borough's change, the same for every neighbourhood in it. Each council in England sets its own scheme for working-age people, so a change can also follow a change to the scheme.

Wider-area and housing context

Shown separately; not included in this saved local-change reading.

Homes improving their energy rating

Context, not counted: Selective re-certification, assessment changes, grants and the starting housing stock can change this rate without establishing rising local affluence. 49% of 79 homes re-certified in the last 3 years improved their rating, against 41% across the borough.

Borough against the region

Context, not counted: Council-wide momentum is shown separately: it does not establish change within this neighbourhood. Dacorum against the East of England: prices +16% against +17% (UK House Price Index, 2017–2019 → 2023–2025); household income +34% against +34% for the typical neighbourhood (2011/12 → 2022/23); income deprivation ranks -4.4 against -1.2 percentile points of national position (2019 → 2025; up is less deprived); residents with a degree +7 against +6 points (2011 → 2021). 0 of 4 point towards rising affluence and 1 the other way, so it is keeping pace with the East of England. The same council-wide context for every neighbourhood in Dacorum; shown separately from local change.

These are the years represented across the saved charts, not continuous coverage of every measure. Census ethnicity describes residents; school ethnicity describes pupils. Neither feeds this indicator. A history of this indicator itself requires comparable saved snapshots; it cannot be reconstructed from today’s balance.

How this reading is supported

2 of 17 measured signals point towards rising affluence against the borough, 4 the other way and 11 in line. Weighing each by how directly it tracks rising incomes and values (1 to 5), the balance is -0.15, on a scale from -1 (all the other way) to +1 (all rising). A reading of the signals, not a prediction.

Each signal has a weight from 1 to 5. The balance is rising weight minus falling weight, divided by all measured weight, including signals in line. Missing signals are excluded. The reading also needs several signals to agree and applies the income safeguard where relevant.

The neighbourhood in five questions

Each answer is drawn from the evidence below and says what was measured and when. Open a card's section for the charts.

Is it getting cheaper?

Rising

No: prices here have risen (houses +8% over three years). After inflation: houses −9%.

  • Measured · 2025 Houses here: typical resale £451k over 2023 to 2025, +8% on 2020 to 2022 (Dacorum +6%); after inflation −9%.
  • Whole council · July 2026 Across Dacorum the average price moved +3.0% in the last year (UK House Price Index, all homes).
  • Whole council · August 2026 Private rents across Dacorum: £1,594 a month, +1.3% in a year.

The answer is in cash, as paid; "after inflation" sets each year's price in the latest year's pounds (Consumer Prices Index, ONS). A typical price moves with which homes happened to sell, so three years are averaged.

The mix of ages is shifting (65 and over: 15.7% of residents in 2011, 18.0% in 2024); residents are up 12.5% since 2011.

  • Estimate · 2024 Ages: 65 and over: 15.7% of residents in 2011, 18.0% in 2024.
  • Estimate · 2024 Residents: 6,096 at mid-2024. 2011: 5,421 (+12.5%). Dacorum +11.1% over the same years.
  • Census 2021 Born outside the UK: 9.2% of residents. 2011: 6.9%. Dacorum: 14%.

Yearly figures are ONS estimates and school censuses; country of birth, ethnic group and religion of all residents are counted only at the census.

How is religion changing here?

Changing

Between the 2011 and 2021 censuses: Christian fell 67% to 50%; No religion rose 24% to 40%.

  • Census 2021 Christian: 76.7% in 2001, then 67% → 50% of residents (Dacorum 46.4% in 2021).
  • Census 2021 No religion: 15.1% in 2001, then 24% → 40% of residents (Dacorum 41.1% in 2021).
  • Mapped today Places of worship within 1 km: 0 churches · 0 mosques · 0 synagogues (OpenStreetMap; no opening dates, so no trend).

Religion is counted only at the census (21 March 2021; the next is 2031): nothing measures it between censuses. Fewer people left the question unanswered (7% in 2011, 6% in 2021), which lifts every other share a little.

Is it getting safer?

Crime falling

Recorded crime here fell 5% over two years (Dacorum +5%).

  • Measured · Aug 2026 Police.uk records in this neighbourhood: 383 → 362 (-5%) vs Dacorum +5%.
  • Measured Crimes per 1,000 residents in the last 12 months: 62 here · 68 Dacorum.
  • Measured Anti-social behaviour per 1,000 residents, last 12 months: 22 here · 21 Dacorum.
  • Measured Theft from the person per 1,000 residents, last 12 months: 0.5 here · 0.7 Dacorum.

Crimes the police recorded and published, by where they happened; changes in recording move the figures too.

Area scores (experimental)

Each theme is scored from 1 to 5 as a weighted average of figures shown in this report, using weights and bands from our configuration file. They describe the area, not the home, leave out anything about who lives here, and never change the assessment, the headlines or the questions. The breakdown under each score lists every input, what it scored and what was missing.

Safety

3.3out of 5

Average

Based on 6 of 6 inputs (100% of the weight).

Experimental — weights from our config, not an official rating.

How this is worked out

Higher: less recorded crime, anti-social behaviour and possession of weapons per resident than the borough, crime not rising faster than the borough, few injury collisions near the home, and fewer dwelling fires than England's rate (in Greater Manchester, where the police publish no street-level figures, less crime across the council than England's rate). Lower: the opposite. Flood risk is a risk to the property, shown under Environment, and is not part of this score.

Bands are about the 20th, 40th, 60th and 80th percentiles of the 6,577 neighbourhoods in the 2026-08 crime build (median 0.79). Optional: Greater Manchester and British Transport Police publish no street-level figures, so there it is left out.

Recorded crime trend against the boroughThe area change dial's crime signal: 'up' (4) when crime fell at least 10 points faster here than across the borough, 'down' (2) when it rose at least 10 points faster, in line (3) otherwise. A trend, so it moves the score less than the level. Recorded crime changed -5% here against +5% across the borough. Falling faster than the borough counts towards rising affluence; rising faster counts against. 41
Injury collisions within 250 mPolice-reported injury collisions within 250 m over the last five years (STATS19; PSNI in Northern Ireland). Counts, not rates: busy roads have more. 0 52
Dwelling fires per 1,000 homes against EnglandFires in homes attended by fire and rescue services in the neighbourhood over three years (MHCLG incident-level data, England only), per Census 2021 household, divided by England's rate.

Poor

Based on 4 of 4 inputs (100% of the weight).

Experimental — weights from our config, not an official rating.

How this is worked out

Higher: a station and buses close by, good public transport access (London), a commute well within your limit, an airport within reach, public car parks mapped near the home, and no residents' parking zone or driving charge zone at the home. Lower: the opposite.

Buses within 400 mIn London, the distinct TfL bus routes at stops within 400 m (about a 5-minute walk); elsewhere, the bus stops within 400 m (NaPTAN), which says nothing about how often buses run. 0 12

Public car parks mapped within 500 mHow many public car parks (no restriction recorded on the map; customers-only, permit and street-side parking not counted) OpenStreetMap maps within 500 m, in a straight line to the middle of each, as the car parks row in Getting to work counts them (owner, 6 October 2026: "it will feed a score"). None mapped within 500 m is a reading of the map once the import holds car parks, so it scores 1; before the import ("Not available yet") or when it cannot be read it is not scored. Volunteers' mapping is incomplete, so a low count can mean car parks not yet mapped. Bands from the national spread: every tenth of Great Britain's postcodes in OS Code-Point Open (August 2026), 174,823 of them, against the car parks the import keeps from the UK extract of 5 October 2026 (151,622 public): no car park 24% of postcodes (scores 1), 1 car park 16% (2), 2 or 3 21% (3), 4 to 7 20% (4), 8 or more 20% (5), so the cut points 1, 2, 4 and 8 sit at about the 24th, 40th, 60th and 80th percentiles (the 20th is 0). Northern Ireland is not in Code-Point Open. No public car park mapped 11

Weighted average: (3×1 + 2×1 + 1×5 + 1×1) ÷ 7 = 1.6. Inputs without a value are left out, never counted as zero; the theme needs at least 60% of its weight and 2 inputs with a value.

Not part of this score here: Public transport access level (London) (TfL's PTAL covers Greater London only); Your commute against your limit (Only when you give a workplace and a maximum journey time); Residents' parking permit zone (Does not apply here); Driving charge or emission zone (Only where a mapped charging, clean air, low or zero emission zone is in the home's council or within about 2 km; a zone whose boundary is not published or not loaded, or within about 100 m of Oxford's Zero Emission Zone (published as its streets, not an area), is never scored).

Gentrification

3.5out of 5

Towards rising affluence

Based on 12 of 13 inputs (94% of the weight).

Experimental — weights from our config, not an official rating.

How this is worked out

Higher: more of the area change signals point towards rising affluence against the borough; 3 is in line with the borough; lower points the other way. It describes change around the home: it is not a verdict on the home or a prediction. The plain-language gentrification indication in 'How the area is changing' is worked out separately and does not use this score.

Based on 14 of 16 inputs (81% of the weight).

Experimental — weights from our config, not an official rating.

How this is worked out

Higher: parks, well-rated schools, a supermarket, a GP and an A&E close by, allotments, community centres and libraries within a walk, with quieter roads, few late-night venues mapped nearby and cleaner air; and, where measured, higher ground than most of the council's homes, a roof that could make more solar electricity, a garden facing south, no public right of way across the plot, no landlord licensing area, no roadworks planned within 100 m, no sewage works, waste site or intensive farm close by, and a street where homes are owned for longer than across the council.

Height of the ground among the council's homesThe share of the council's homes standing on lower ground than this home (0 to 100), from the Height above sea level row in Everyday life: OS Terrain 50's ground height at the home's point against a ladder of the council's homes (Census 2021 households at output area centres in England and Wales; NRS occupied homes by data zone in Scotland). Higher ground is a preference some buyers have (views, drainage); it is not a flood figure: flood risk is its own section and is never read here. A share spreads evenly over each council's homes by construction, so the bands 20, 40, 60 and 80 put a fifth of the homes in each score: on the national build of 7 October 2026 (OS Terrain 50 July 2026, 196,272 output areas and data zones, 27.4 million homes) 19.9%, 20.0%, 20.0%, 20.0% and 20.1% of homes score 1 to 5.

None mapped scores 5; it is not scored before the map data holds these places or when it cannot be read. Volunteers map few opening hours (about 15% of pubs and 18% of bars), so a small count can mean hours not yet mapped.

Years homes are owned before resale, against the councilHow long homes on the home's street (the street of that name in its place, the locality HM Land Registry records or else the town, within its postcode district; its postcode sector when the street has fewer than 10 resale pairs) are usually owned before they are sold again: the median gap between two sales of the same address since 1995 (HM Land Registry Price Paid Data), divided by the council's median. Higher: homes here are kept longer than across the council. It describes how long homes are kept, not who lives here. Too few resales (under 10 pairs in the street and in its sector) are never scored. Bands are the 20th, 40th, 60th and 80th percentiles of the 340,233 streets in England and Wales with 10 or more resale pairs whose pairs all fall in one council, each against that council's median (build of 7 October 2026 from the Price Paid publication of 28 August 2026): 0.82, 0.95, 1.08 and 1.27.

Allotments, community centres and libraries within 1 kmHow many allotment sites, community centres and libraries are within 1 km of the home in a straight line, as the Community spaces row in Everyday life counts them (owner, 6 October 2026: "it will feed a score"; 7 October 2026: allotments and community spaces within a walk): allotment and community growing sites from OS Open Greenspace (to the nearest mapped entrance), community centres and village halls from OpenStreetMap, and public libraries from Arts Council England's list (open at the end of 2023) in England, OpenStreetMap's libraries in Wales and Scotland. Scored only when all three are held for the home: before the monthly import holds community centres ("Not available yet") and in Northern Ireland (no OS Open Greenspace) it is left out, never 0; a measured 0 scores 1. Volunteers' mapping is incomplete, so a low count can mean places not yet mapped. Bands from the national spread: every tenth of Great Britain's postcodes in OS Code-Point Open (174,797 of them) against OS Open Greenspace (April 2026, 13,778 allotment sites), the community centres the import keeps from the UK extract of 5 October 2026 (16,611) and the 2,987 open libraries on Arts Council England's list (3,879 OpenStreetMap libraries for Wales and Scotland): none within 1 km 15.5% of postcodes (scores 1), 1 place 15.3% (2), 2 or 3 28.3% (3), 4 or 5 19.0% (4), 6 or more 21.8% (5), so the cut points 1, 2, 4 and 6 sit at the 20th, 40th, 60th and 80th percentiles (median 3).

Each line is set to 100 in 2015, so 130 means 30% higher than in 2015. This neighbourhood and Dacorum: the median resale price of houses each year (HM Land Registry Price Paid, standard sales, new builds left out); a year with fewer than 10 sales here is a gap, and the number under each year is the houses resold here. East of England: the UK House Price Index average for houses (the simple average of its detached, semi-detached and terraced prices; it publishes none for houses together), the mean of each year's months: a mix-adjusted average of every sale, new builds included. Dacorum rents: ONS Price Index of Private Rents for houses (the simple average of its terraced, semi-detached and detached rents), the yearly average of monthly rents paid on new and existing lets; borough, not this street. 2026 is the year so far (dashed). Sales published 28 August 2026, the index to July 2026, rents to August 2026. Scope: this neighbourhood, the borough and the region (Dacorum 001, Dacorum, East of England); not a valuation of this home.

The latest 12 months are marked as provisional context: registration lag and revisions affect recent counts, so a low latest point is not evidence of a collapse in sales. Gaps mean unavailable counts; a published zero remains zero. No seasonal adjustment or market-direction judgement is made.

Of the houses and flats resold each year (HM Land Registry Price Paid, standard sales), the share that were flats, here and across Dacorum. A year with fewer than 20 resales here is a gap. New builds are not in these yearly figures, so their share is not shown. 2026 is the year so far (dashed). A change in the mix moves an average of all homes, which is why the price lines keep houses and flats apart.

Mortgage possession claims each quarter per 10,000 owner-occupier households: Dacorum against England

Observation period: 2003 Q1 → 2026 Q2

2026 Q2

Year to June 2026 (shaded): 10 per 10,000 owner-occupier households in Dacorum, 13 across England. The most in one quarter in Dacorum: 18.3, October to December 2007.

Mortgage possession claims each quarter per 10,000 owner-occupier households: Dacorum against England: Dacorum 5.1 (2003 Q1) to 2.7 (2026 Q2); England 9.8 (2003 Q1) to 3.4 (2026 Q2).Latest year3.322.720052010201520202025Dacorum2.7England3.4
Claims by mortgage lenders in each quarter from January 2003 to June 2026, per 10,000 owner-occupier households (owned outright, with a mortgage or loan, or in shared ownership) at the 2021 census, so earlier years are set against today's households. Counted by the defendant's address: the council where the borrower lives, which is not necessarily the property, and for the whole council, never this street. England is our sum of its councils (claims whose council could not be identified are left out). The shaded quarters make up the year to June 2026 in this section's evidence; the dashed last step is the latest quarter, which is provisional. Source: Ministry of Justice, Mortgage and landlord possession statistics, April to June 2026 (local authority data, Open Government Licence v3.0); the rates are our own.

Years owned before resale
About 5 years

Homes in postcode sector AL3 8 are usually owned for about 5 years before they are sold again (HM Land Registry, resales since 1995): a median of 5.3 years over 1,508 resale pairs of 744 homes. Cotton Spring View in Flamstead (the only street recorded in AL3 8BJ) has no resale of the same home recorded since 1995, so the postcode sector stands in.

Titles owned by individuals and charities are not in these lists, and HM Land Registry does not publish how many titles each postcode has, so this is a count, not a share; one title can cover many homes. The lists carry no property reference number and their address lines may not be used for matching, so whether this home itself is company-owned is not shown.

    42 claims by mortgage lenders in the year from July 2025 to June 2026 (57 in the year before). In the same year 32 orders for possession (outright or suspended), 28 warrants and 5 repossessions by county court bailiffs. England: 19,551 claims, 13 per 10,000 (our sum of its councils; claims whose council could not be identified are left out). Per 10,000 owner-occupier households (owned outright, with a mortgage or loan, or in shared ownership) at the 2021 census. Many claims end without the home being repossessed. Counted by the defendant's address: the council where the borrower lives, which is not necessarily the property, and for the whole council, never this street.

  • Homes in this postcode sector are usually owned for about 5 years before they are sold again

    HM Land Registry, resales since 1995, postcode sector AL3 8. Each sale of an address (the same postcode, house number or name, flat and street) is paired with the sale of that address before it, and the median of those gaps is shown: a median of 5.3 years over 1,508 resale pairs of 744 homes; the middle half came 3.0 to 9.0 years after the sale before. Cotton Spring View in Flamstead (the only street recorded in AL3 8BJ) has no resale of the same home recorded since 1995, so the postcode sector stands in. Dacorum: about 6 years (median 5.6 years, 39,920 pairs). Left out: a new home's first sale as the start of a pair (HM Land Registry marks new builds), two sales of an address on the same day, and other kinds of property. Sales to companies, repossessions and buy-to-let purchases count as sales from October 2013, when HM Land Registry began recording them. Homes kept longer than the records go back, or never sold again, are not counted, so these are the gaps of homes that were sold again; a home whose address was written differently at its two sales is not paired. It describes how long homes are kept, not who lives here. HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, published 28 August 2026.

Where they go (weekday daytime): Bedford 51, Luton 27, Brighton 24, Corby 24, London St Pancras International 24, Rainham (Kent) 24, Three Bridges 23, Elephant & Castle 2, Orpington 2. Trains that end here are not counted, and each train counts once however it is timed through the station. Timetabled journey times on the same weekday (07:00 to 19:00; a range runs from the quickest train to the average): Bedford 18 to 27 min (Thameslink and East Midlands Railway); Luton about 3 min (Thameslink and East Midlands Railway); Brighton about 117 min (Thameslink); Corby about 47 min (East Midlands Railway); London St Pancras International about 23 min (East Midlands Railway); Rainham (Kent) about 145 min (Thameslink); Three Bridges 83 to 92 min (Thameslink); Elephant & Castle about 57 min (Thameslink); Orpington about 101 min (Thameslink).

No bus is timetabled from a stop within 400 m between 07:00 and 19:00 on Tuesday 29 September 2026. None within 1 km either. These timetables were read for Tuesday 29 September 2026 and may be out of date: the weekly job has not refreshed them.

Public transport connectivity
22 of 100 · better connected than 1% of Dacorum neighbourhoods (median 66.3)

How easily people here can reach jobs, schools and colleges, healthcare, shops, leisure and other homes by public transport, on DfT's scale from 0 to 100 (higher is better connected), worked out from the timetables of October to December 2024. This small area scores 21.6; against the 96 small areas (neighbourhoods of about 1,500 residents) in Dacorum, the median is 66.3 and the range 15.2 to 81.0. DfT publishes it as Experimental Statistics: read it against other areas, not as a journey time.

Dacorum medians are our own figures: the middle value across its 94 neighbourhoods as UBDC published them (2011 boundaries). Modelled by the Urban Big Data Centre (University of Glasgow, AI23): door-to-door trips by bus, tram, train or on foot, leaving at 7am on a weekday with early-2023 timetables, from the neighbourhood's population-weighted centre to the nearest place of each kind. Not this front door: a home at the edge of the neighbourhood may be quicker or slower, and places may have opened or closed since: UBDC's lists of places can miss some, so check the nearest schools, GPs and shops by distance in their own sections. "In this neighbourhood" means UBDC places the nearest one inside it (0 minutes in its figures).

  • About the connectivity scores

    The Department for Transport's Transport Connectivity Metric (first published September 2025) scores every small area in England and Wales from 0 to 100 on the value of the places people can reach and how easily, using journey planning on the transport networks and timetables of October to December 2024. DfT publishes it as Experimental Statistics and says the scores should be interpreted relative to other areas. It is not a journey time: it assumes services run as timetabled, and says nothing about reliability, crowding or disruption. Services may have changed since 2024. The comparison with Dacorum uses the small areas under the council today.

  • About the bus counts

    Departures timetabled on Tuesday 29 September 2026, the next ordinary weekday (a Tuesday to Thursday outside bank holidays and Christmas), from stops within 400 m of the home in a straight line (about a 5-minute walk). Each route and direction is counted once, at the nearby stop it serves most, so a bus passing two nearby stops counts once; journeys that end at a nearby stop, and stops where a bus only sets down, are not counted. Timetables do not mark school-day services, which can bunch several buses into one or two hours in villages, so the quietest daytime hour is shown beside the average. They are as the operators registered them, not live running, and can change in school holidays. Bus Open Data Service timetables built on 27/09/2026, read 2026-09-27. These timetables were read for Tuesday 29 September 2026 and may be out of date: the weekly job has not refreshed them.

  • About the train counts

    Departures timetabled on Tuesday 6 October 2026 (a Tuesday to Thursday outside bank holidays and Christmas) and on the Saturday and Sunday after it, from Network Rail's timetable with its short-term changes and cancellations applied (read 2026-10-05). Only passenger trains with a public departure time are counted; trains that end at the station, replacement buses and empty trains are not. It is the timetable, not live running: engineering works announced late and strikes are not in it.

  • Car parks within 500 m

    Public means no restriction is recorded on the map; private car parks, lock-up garages and carports are left out, and spaces are never added up (most car parks have none recorded). Distances are in a straight line to the middle of each car park as mapped, so a large one can start nearer. Whether this street needs a resident's permit is not in national open data: see the questions to ask. © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), mapped by volunteers, extract of 6 October 2026.

Flood risk from rivers and sea (with defences) · postcode centre
Very low

At the postcode centre; the exact home has not been selected. Chance of flooding from rivers or the sea less than 0.1% (1 in 1,000) each year, taking flood defences into account (Environment Agency, 2025).

Surface water flood risk · postcode centre

At the postcode centre; the exact home has not been selected. Chance of flooding from heavy rain less than 0.1% (1 in 1,000) each year, within about 10 m of the postcode centre.

Surface water by the 2050s · postcode centre
Very low, as now

At the postcode centre; the exact home has not been selected. Environment Agency climate change scenario for 2040–2060 (UKCP18, RCP8.5 central allowances): chance of flooding from heavy rain less than 0.1% (1 in 1,000) each year, against very low today.

Night: Below 35 dB (quiet). Modelled annual average at the address point.

Rail noise (daytime, 07:00–23:00)
Below 40 dB (quiet)

Night: Below 35 dB (quiet). Modelled annual average at the address point.

Aircraft noise (London Luton)
Lden 50–54.9 dB · Lnight under 45 dB

Modelled for 2021 on London Luton's official noise map, 4 m above ground: 53 dB Lden (the whole day, with evening and night noise weighted up); 50 dB by day, below the 51 dB where adverse effects begin (LAeq,16h, 07:00–23:00); and 44.9 dB at night, below the 45 dB where adverse effects begin at night (Lnight, 23:00–07:00), against the Air Navigation Guidance 2017 (set for summer averages; these maps are annual). That is below the 55 dB Lden and 50 dB at night from which airport noise action plans apply. 2021 had far fewer flights than usual because of Covid travel restrictions, so noise now is likely to be higher.

Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) 2024

Nearest river
A main river (brook or beck) · 930 m

No named river is mapped within 1 km on OpenStreetMap, but the Environment Agency lists a main river this close; smaller watercourses are often mapped as streams.

Nearest canal
None mapped within 1 km

OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers; small channels may be missing.

Environment Agency main river
930 m

Works in, over, under or within 8 m of a main river (16 m if tidal) need a flood risk activity permit from the Environment Agency, which matters for extensions, walls and outbuildings.

Late-night venues within 200 m
None mapped

None mapped within 200 m: no nightclub, and no bar or pub mapped as open past midnight, on OpenStreetMap (extract of 6 October 2026). Mapping of opening hours is incomplete, so this is not proof there are none. The FSA food hygiene register lists no pub, bar or nightclub within 200 m (latest extract 16 October 2026; it records no opening hours).

Overhead power lines and pylons
Line on pylons · 250 m

Nearest line on pylons: 250 m away (Ordnance Survey's map, which gives no voltage or operator). No substation recorded within 500 m. This home is in UK Power Networks' East England area (approximate boundaries). Checked: Ordnance Survey's map of overhead lines on pylons (Great Britain; no voltage given), UK Power Networks' 132 kV and 33 kV overhead lines and UK Power Networks' grid and primary substations. Not covered: National Grid's own maps of its transmission lines, pylons and substations (they may not be used commercially; its lines on pylons are in Ordnance Survey's map) and lower-voltage local lines and poles (11 kV and below).

Coal mining
Outside the coal mining reporting area

No coal mining risk area is recorded at the address point. Other ground risks (subsidence, clay shrinkage, other mining) are not checked here.

Radon (indicative)
1–3% of homes above the action level

About 1–3% of homes in this 1 km square (grid square TL0615) are estimated to be at or above the radon action level (200 Bq/m³). This is a radon Affected Area, where UKHSA advises testing every home. Each square takes the highest class found anywhere within it, so this is indicative and can overstate this home's area; it is not a measurement. Only a test shows the level in a home; UKHSA's validated testing service is at https://www.ukradon.org/.

    At the postcode centre; the exact home has not been selected. Environment Agency Risk of Flooding from Surface Water: less than 0.1% (1 in 1,000) each year. This is where rain cannot drain away quickly enough; it is separate from river and sea flooding and is the most common kind of flooding in England. It describes the area around the postcode centre, not the building itself; ask about past flooding, and check insurance quotes before exchange.

  • Surface water depth, speed and hazard · postcode centre

    At the postcode centre; the exact home has not been selected. The Environment Agency's maps put no surface water on the land within about 10 m of the point even in a flood with a 1 in 1,000 (0.1%) chance each year (the Very low band), so there is no depth, speed or hazard to show.

The dashed lines are Dacorum, the East of England and England, counted the same way: the same months, same crimes and the same police forces. England covers 273 of its 296 council areas; the rest are policed by forces whose Police.uk data is incomplete or no longer published. Busy centres count many visitors against few residents.

Police.uk crimes excluding anti-social behaviour, totalled over the 12 months to August each year, each line set to 100 for the 12 months to August 2012, so a falling line means fewer crimes than then. A year is left blank when any of its months has incomplete data from a force that records at least 1 in 100 crimes here. Left out of every year, so each counts the same forces: British Transport Police (incomplete from February 2025), and a few crimes recorded here by other forces with incomplete recent data.

Crimes per 1,000 residents (last 12 months)
62 here · 68 Dacorum

East of England 71 · England 84 (273 of 296 council areas). Police.uk crimes excluding anti-social behaviour, Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, per Census 2021 resident; every area counts the same months, crimes and police forces. Town centres, stations and shopping streets have high counts for their population because many visitors pass through.

Change over two years, this neighbourhood
383 → 362 (-5%) vs Dacorum +5%

Police.uk street-level records in Dacorum 001, the 12 months to August 2024 against the 12 months to August 2026 (Sep 2023 to Aug 2024; Sep 2025 to Aug 2026). Over the same months: East of England +2%, England (273 of 296 council areas) -1%. Counts, not rates: population change is unknown between these years. Changes in recording or policing can move these figures as much as real change.

Anti-social behaviour per 1,000 residents (last 12 months)
22 here · 21 Dacorum

Police.uk reports of anti-social behaviour (noise, nuisance, rowdiness), Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, per Census 2021 resident; not counted as crime. Forces record it differently, so it is compared only with the borough.

Crimes charged or taken to court
6% here · 6% Dacorum

Latest 12 months. Recent crimes are often still under investigation, so this share rises as cases conclude.

Theft from the person per 1,000 residents (last 12 months)
0.5 here · 0.7 Dacorum

3 recorded thefts from the person here in Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, per 1,000 Census 2021 residents against the borough. Property taken from someone without force or threats: pickpocketing, bag and phone snatching. Police.uk does not say what was taken, so phones are not counted apart, and a snatch with force or threats is recorded as robbery. Busy streets, stations and nightlife count many visitors against few residents.

Bicycle theft per 1,000 residents (last 12 months)
0.0 here · 0.4 Dacorum

0 recorded bicycle thefts here in Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, per 1,000 Census 2021 residents against the borough. Bicycles stolen, as recorded by the police; many thefts are never reported. Busy stations and town centres, where many people leave bikes, count them against few residents.

Possession of weapons per 1,000 residents (3 years)
2.2 here · 1.7 Dacorum

13 recorded here from September 2023 to August 2026 (267 across Dacorum), per 1,000 Census 2021 residents against the borough. Police.uk's category for possessing a weapon such as a knife or a firearm; an offence in which a weapon is used is counted under its own type, such as violence or robbery. Counts are small, so all 3 years of the Police.uk archive are counted together. Not held for these months: British Transport Police's records (crimes on the railway).

As mapped on OpenStreetMap by volunteers, 6 October 2026. Councils publish few camera positions and the police none, so more cameras exist than are mapped.

Share of pupils at state-funded schools in Hertfordshire each January (school census), counted where they attend school, not where they live. Children at state-funded schools only, not the whole population; independent schools are excluded. Other White includes White Irish, Traveller of Irish heritage and Gypsy or Roma. Unclassified (1.2% in 2025/26) is not drawn. Figures are for Hertfordshire, the county council area that includes Dacorum.

Two census observations, ten years apart. Select a group to follow its recorded share.

Residents’ ethnicity at two censuses: White British 92.1% (2011) to 86.6% (2021); Other White 4.1% (2011) to 5.2% (2021); Mixed or multiple 1.8% (2011) to 3.5% (2021); Asian or Asian British 1.1% (2011) to 2.5% (2021); Black or Black British 0.8% (2011) to 1.7% (2021).12.5%80.4%20212011White British86.6%Other White5.2%Mixed or multiple3.5%Asian or Asian British2.5%Black or Black British1.7%
Census 2011 and 2021: usual residents, not school pupils. Comparable neighbourhood boundaries. These are not annual measurements; the lines join census-day observations and do not show when change happened between them. Groups follow the saved comparison, which omits groups below 1% at both censuses. Roma is grouped with Other White for comparability. Changes can reflect births, deaths, migration and how people identify; they do not establish who moved in or out. Ethnicity is descriptive context and is not used in the gentrification indicator. The original council and national comparisons remain below.

Share of residents by religion in Dacorum 001 at the 2001, 2011 and 2021 censuses, the only times religion is counted (the next is 2031).

Up from 2.3% in May 2019 to 10.0% in May 2026 (361 people, 61 of them moved from older benefits by Move to UC); Dacorum rose more, from 2.2% to 16.0%.

Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first month after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); 2: August 2022, the first month DWP marks people moved across from older benefits by Move to UC. People on Universal Credit on the second Thursday of each month (May 2013 to May 2026), all ages, as a share of residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base: population change since 2021 is not reflected. Neighbourhood: Dacorum 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021). Universal Credit has been replacing six older benefits (income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, income-related Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Housing Benefit, Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit) since 2013. It was rolled out area by area until it took new claims in every Jobcentre in December 2018 (shaded): the rise until then shows the roll-out, not more people claiming, so the reading above starts in May 2019. DWP's Move to UC (managed migration) has also been moving people across from those benefits since 2022, so growth since then partly reflects that move, not only more people claiming. In May 2026, 61 of the 361 people on Universal Credit here, and 1,421,184 of the 7,222,784 in England, had moved across from older benefits through Move to UC (DWP marks them from August 2022). Recent months are provisional (the latest is dashed) and DWP revises them.

DWP definitions: a child is in relative low income when their family's income before housing costs, adjusted for the size and make-up of the household, is below 60% of the median that year; income includes earnings, state support and pensions. Only families claiming Child Benefit and at least one other household benefit (Universal Credit, tax credits or Housing Benefit) are counted.

Households getting help with rent through Housing Benefit or Universal Credit's housing element, every tenure (social, private and not recorded), in March each year from 2019, as a share of households at the 2021 census, a fixed base. The two are added together because working-age Housing Benefit claims are moving into Universal Credit; either alone would show that move, not a change in need. Housing Benefit counts claims and Universal Credit counts households. DWP's Housing Benefit figures on this basis start in April 2018. Neighbourhood: Dacorum 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021).

Pension Credit, share of residents aged 66 and over

Observation period: Feb 2019 → Mar 2026

Pension Credit claimants (a couple claiming together counts once) in the latest quarter each year, February 2019 to March 2026, as a share of residents aged 66 and over at the 2021 census, a fixed base. Pension Credit tops up the income of people over State Pension age on low incomes, and many who could claim it do not, so claims also move with how many people apply. Its qualifying age follows women's State Pension age, which rose from 65 in November 2018 to 66 in October 2020, so fewer people newly qualified in those years. Neighbourhood: Dacorum 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021).

Claimant Count, share of residents aged 16 to 64

Observation period: Jan 2013 → Sep 2026

Sep 2026

Up from 1.0% in September 2019 to 1.9% in September 2026; Dacorum rose more, from 1.6% to 3.3%.

Claimant Count, share of residents aged 16 to 64: Neighbourhood 1.5% (Jan 2013) to 1.9% (Sep 2026); Dacorum 2.2% (Jan 2013) to 3.3% (Sep 2026); East of England 2.9% (Jan 2013) to 3.4% (Sep 2026); England 3.6% (Jan 2013) to 4.2% (Sep 2026).UC roll-out121%5.8%20132016201920222025Neighbourhood1.9%Dacorum3.3%East of England3.4%England4.2%
Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first month after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); 2: January 2026, when Nomis moved neighbourhood figures from 2011 to 2021 neighbourhood areas. The Claimant Count is the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance plus people on Universal Credit who are required to look for work (ONS), each month from January 2013 to September 2026, as a share of residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base: population change since 2021 is not reflected. Universal Credit asks more people to look for work than Jobseeker's Allowance did, so while it was rolled out area by area (shaded from 2015 until it took new claims in every Jobcentre in December 2018) the count rose partly because more people were counted, not only because more people were out of work; the reading above starts in September 2019. Neighbourhood: Dacorum 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021). Nomis published its figures on its 2011 neighbourhood area (the same ground) until December 2025 and on its 2021 area since January 2026. ONS rounds every count to the nearest 5; a neighbourhood's own line is drawn only where it had at least 50 claimants in the latest month. Source: ONS Claimant Count via Nomis, September 2026, 2021 neighbourhood area (Dacorum 001).

Neighbourhood: Dacorum 001 (2021 MSOA); borough: Dacorum; region: East of England; England. Ward for children in low-income families. Counts from DWP Stat-Xplore; shares of Census 2021 residents and households. The Claimant Count from ONS (Nomis). Council Tax Support from MHCLG, for the borough. Separate annual-population charts use matching ONS age estimates only for the years and areas held; their captions give the dates and limits.

How to compare
Compare the same geography, period and measure. Postcode surroundings use a search radius; a statistical neighbourhood and a council cover different areas. A report preparation date is not the observation date.
Confidence limits
Coverage, sample size and source limitations determine how much weight to give this evidence. Missing metadata is not evidence of high confidence. Original source caveats remain below.

Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first month after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); 2: January 2026, when Nomis moved neighbourhood figures from 2011 to 2021 neighbourhood areas. The Claimant Count is the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance plus people on Universal Credit who are required to look for work (ONS), each month from January 2013 to September 2026, as a share of residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base: population change since 2021 is not reflected. Universal Credit asks more people to look for work than Jobseeker's Allowance did, so while it was rolled out area by area (shaded from 2015 until it took new claims in every Jobcentre in December 2018) the count rose partly because more people were counted, not only because more people were out of work; the reading above starts in September 2019. Neighbourhood: Dacorum 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021). Nomis published its figures on its 2011 neighbourhood area (the same ground) until December 2025 and on its 2021 area since January 2026. ONS rounds every count to the nearest 5; a neighbourhood's own line is drawn only where it had at least 50 claimants in the latest month. Source: ONS Claimant Count via Nomis, September 2026, 2021 neighbourhood area (Dacorum 001).

Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first month after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); 2: August 2022, the first month DWP marks people moved across from older benefits by Move to UC. Benefit counts from May 2013 to December 2024, divided by ONS mid-year population estimates aged 16 to 64 for 2013–2024 (2021-based, from Nomis). Each month or quarter uses the mid-year estimate for the same calendar year; this is not a monthly population estimate. Only matching area codes and years are used; gaps stay missing, and population is never carried forward. Areas without matching estimates are omitted. The latest benefit count held for the leading area is May 2026. Headline shares and separate full-history charts, where available, retain their fixed Census 2021 base; the counted benefit-change signal still compares counts. DWP counts people on Universal Credit of all ages: this is a ratio to the working-age population, not the percentage of working-age residents claiming. Growth also reflects the roll-out and moves from older benefits. Our own calculated shares; population estimates roll the census forward with births, deaths and moves.

Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first quarter after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); DWP paused routine PIP reviews and reassessments from late March to July 2020. People aged 16 to 64 receiving Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in January, April, July and October each year from April 2013 to July 2026, as a share of residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base: population change since 2021 is not reflected. PIP replaced Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people aged 16 to 64 from April 2013, and people already receiving DLA were moved across to PIP by DWP's reassessments, the largest part of them by 2019 (shaded): the rise until then partly reflects that move, not only more people claiming, so the reading above starts in July 2019. Neighbourhood: Dacorum 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021). DWP adjusts small counts slightly to protect privacy, so a neighbourhood's own line is drawn only where at least 50 people aged 16 to 64 received PIP in the latest quarter. Quarters to October 2018 come from DWP's closed series ("to 2019"), which it no longer revises; from January 2019 from its current series, revised with each quarterly release.

Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first quarter after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); DWP paused routine PIP reviews and reassessments from late March to July 2020. People aged 16 to 64 receiving Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in January, April, July and October each year from April 2013 to July 2026, as a share of residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base: population change since 2021 is not reflected. PIP replaced Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people aged 16 to 64 from April 2013, and people already receiving DLA were moved across to PIP by DWP's reassessments, the largest part of them by 2019 (shaded): the rise until then partly reflects that move, not only more people claiming, so the reading above starts in July 2019. Neighbourhood: Dacorum 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021). DWP adjusts small counts slightly to protect privacy, so a neighbourhood's own line is drawn only where at least 50 people aged 16 to 64 received PIP in the latest quarter. Quarters to October 2018 come from DWP's closed series ("to 2019"), which it no longer revises; from January 2019 from its current series, revised with each quarterly release.

Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first quarter after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); DWP paused routine PIP reviews and reassessments from late March to July 2020. Benefit counts from April 2013 to October 2024, divided by ONS mid-year population estimates aged 16 to 64 for 2013–2024 (2021-based, from Nomis). Each month or quarter uses the mid-year estimate for the same calendar year; this is not a monthly population estimate. Only matching area codes and years are used; gaps stay missing, and population is never carried forward. Areas without matching estimates are omitted. The latest benefit count held for the leading area is July 2026. Headline shares and separate full-history charts, where available, retain their fixed Census 2021 base; the counted benefit-change signal still compares counts. PIP replaced Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people aged 16 to 64 from April 2013, and people already receiving DLA were moved across to PIP by DWP's reassessments, the largest part of them by 2019.

Council Tax Support claimants (pensioners and working age), each one a council tax bill reduced under the council's scheme, at the end of each financial quarter from June 2015 to June 2026, as a share of households at the 2021 census, a fixed base: change in the number of households since 2021 is not reflected. Since April 2013 each council in England has set its own scheme for working-age people (who qualifies and how much), so councils are not like for like and a change can follow a change to the scheme; support for pensioners follows national rules. MHCLG publishes the figures councils return each quarter and revises them when a council sends corrected figures; a quarter it marks not available is left as a gap.

Denominator: residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census (3,608 in this neighbourhood).

Change since 2021/22: Stat-Xplore holds 4 years on 2021 boundaries, so a five-year change is not available yet. DWP definitions: a child is in relative low income when their family's income before housing costs, adjusted for the size and make-up of the household, is below 60% of the median that year; income includes earnings, state support and pensions. Only families claiming Child Benefit and at least one other household benefit (Universal Credit, tax credits or Housing Benefit) are counted. Shares use residents aged 0 to 15 at the 2021 census.

  • Pension Credit in this neighbourhood, March 2026

    Dacorum: 8.6%. East of England: 9.5%. England: 11.9%. February 2019: this neighbourhood 6.5%; Feb 2020 6.1%, Feb 2021 5.9%, Feb 2022 5.6%, Feb 2023 5.9%, Feb 2024 6.0%, Feb 2025 6.4%. Pension Credit tops up the income of people over State Pension age on low incomes; many people who could claim it do not. Claimants: a couple claiming together counts once. Share of residents aged 66 and over (State Pension age in 2021) at the 2021 census, a fixed base (965 in this neighbourhood). The annual population age bands held here group everyone aged 65 and over together, so they cannot provide a matching 66-and-over denominator; population change since 2021 is not reflected in these shares.

    6.3% of residents aged 66 and over (61 claimants)
  • Households getting help with rent in this neighbourhood, March 2026

    Dacorum: social 145.5, private 44.1 per 1,000 households. East of England: social 118.0, private 61.7 per 1,000 households. England: social 135.3, private 76.5 per 1,000 households. March 2019 in this neighbourhood: social 61.3, private 15.6 per 1,000 households. Another 10 with tenure not recorded or other (Housing Benefit 0, Universal Credit 10). Working-age Housing Benefit is moving into Universal Credit's housing element, so read the two together: the total is the fairer comparison over time. Pensioners and people in supported or temporary housing still claim Housing Benefit. Housing Benefit counts claims and Universal Credit counts households; a home gets help through one or the other. Per 1,000 households at the 2021 census (2,365 in this neighbourhood), a fixed base. Annual resident age estimates cannot provide a household denominator; changes in the number of households since 2021 are not reflected in these rates.

    Social rented: 76.1 per 1,000 households (Housing Benefit 50, Universal Credit 130) · Private rented: 29.2 per 1,000 households (Housing Benefit 5, Universal Credit 64)
  • Claimant Count in this neighbourhood, September 2026

    Dacorum: 3.3% (3,235). East of England: 3.4% (132,405). England: 4.2% (1,493,875). September 2025: 1.8% in this neighbourhood. January 2013: 1.5% in this neighbourhood. Nomis published its figures on its 2011 neighbourhood area (the same ground) until December 2025 and on its 2021 area since January 2026. People claiming Jobseeker's Allowance plus people on Universal Credit who are required to look for work; the count rose while Universal Credit was rolled out (2015 to December 2018) partly because more people were counted. Denominator: residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base (3,608 in this neighbourhood). ONS rounds counts to the nearest 5. Shown only: the Claimant Count is not one of the signals in How the area is changing (people on Universal Credit already are, within benefit claims) and never feeds a score.

  • People receiving PIP in this neighbourhood, July 2026

    Dacorum: 6.6% (6,365). East of England: 7.6% (296,054). England: 8.5% (3,035,893). July 2025: 4.8% in this neighbourhood. July 2019: 2.2% in this neighbourhood. PIP replaced Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people aged 16 to 64 from April 2013, and people already receiving DLA were moved across to PIP by DWP's reassessments, the largest part of them by 2019, so the rise until then partly reflects that move. Denominator: residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base (3,608 in this neighbourhood). DWP adjusts small counts slightly to protect privacy. Its three-year change against the borough counts in How the area is changing, inside the one grouped benefit claims signal; it never feeds a score.

  • Households on Council Tax Support in Dacorum, June 2026

    England: 15.5% (3,635,623 claimants). June 2025: 12.0% (7,591 claimants) in Dacorum. June 2015: 13.8% in Dacorum. Each claimant is a council tax bill reduced under the council's scheme, so in effect a household. Since April 2013 each council in England has set its own scheme for working-age people (who qualifies and how much), so councils are not like for like and a change can follow a change to the scheme; support for pensioners follows national rules. Share of households at the 2021 census, a fixed base (63,409 in Dacorum). The borough's change over three years against England's is one of the benefit measures in How the area is changing (counted once, with Universal Credit, children in low-income families, help with rent and Pension Credit); here it is only shown, and it never feeds a score. Source: MHCLG, Local Council Tax Support claimants live table, published 12 August 2026.

  • Is this street maintained by the council?

    Whether a street is adopted (maintained at public expense) is recorded in the council's list of streets, which is not published as open data. Your conveyancer's local authority search (CON29 question 2.1) says whether the roads next to the home are adopted. Private and unadopted roads are the owners' to repair.

    Not in open data
  • Is this street in a resident parking zone?

    Not measured: parking zone boundaries for Dacorum are not held in this report; most councils do not publish them as open data, so this report cannot say whether the street is in a permit zone. Ask the seller and the council whether the street needs a permit.

Locate applications, heritage constraints and infrastructure together, then check the dated records below.

10 recorded applications within 1 km over 3 years: 0 within 250 m. 10 listed in the evidence; 8 mapped.

Search widened to 1 km because the census neighbourhood (LSOA E01023431) had 40.9 residents per km² on 21 March 2021. We use 1 km below 300 residents per km² and 500 m otherwise. This is a search rule, not an official rural classification or a village population. Distances are approximate straight-line distances to the source’s recorded point. Applications can concern the same project; these are not building-control records.

Application coverage: Dacorum: read from FloodRadar's nightly copy of PlanIt, which reaches back to 3 November 2023 (3 years) and is brought up to date nightly, complete through 1 November 2026; the newest application it holds for this council is dated 27 October 2026. FloodRadar's copy of PlanIt, which these are read from, holds applications for tree works, adverts, amendments and conditions, and for phone masts, only from 29 September 2026: earlier ones are missing here unless the council has changed them since. PlanIt has no location for some applications (about 9% nationally); they cannot be placed or counted here. Many points are the application's postcode centre, so distances are approximate.

    Not measured: this report holds no published licensing areas for Dacorum; most councils do not publish them as open data, so this report cannot say whether a selective or additional licensing scheme covers this home. Ask the council if you plan to let the home.

  • Mandatory HMO licence (national rule)

    Wherever the home is in England, renting it to 5 or more people who form more than one household and share a toilet, bathroom or kitchen needs a licence from the council (a large house in multiple occupation). This applies in every council, whatever its local schemes (GOV.UK, read 6 October 2026).

  • Planning applications: coverage

    Dacorum: read from FloodRadar's nightly copy of PlanIt, which reaches back to 3 November 2023 (3 years) and is brought up to date nightly, complete through 1 November 2026; the newest application it holds for this council is dated 27 October 2026. FloodRadar's copy of PlanIt, which these are read from, holds applications for tree works, adverts, amendments and conditions, and for phone masts, only from 29 September 2026: earlier ones are missing here unless the council has changed them since. PlanIt has no location for some applications (about 9% nationally); they cannot be placed or counted here. Many points are the application's postcode centre, so distances are approximate. Search widened to 1 km because the census neighbourhood (LSOA E01023431) had 40.9 residents per km² on 21 March 2021. We use 1 km below 300 residents per km² and 500 m otherwise. This is a search rule, not an official rural classification or a village population. The list shows 10 of 10 recorded applications within 1 km in the last 3 years; the map shows 8. The 250 m figures retain their smaller radius. Applications are not necessarily separate projects or building-control approvals.

  • New homes built in Dacorum, 2001-02 → 2024-25

    Net additional homes (MHCLG: new builds plus conversions and changes of use, minus demolitions). The most in one year: 793 in 2021-22. Per 1,000 homes: the yearly average against the dwelling stock at the start (MHCLG estimates at 31 March). MHCLG revises the latest years and adjusts all of them to each census. Many new homes can mean regeneration, new shops and services and a growing area, or more competition from new-build sales and busier roads, schools and GP surgeries; few can mean a settled area where homes are scarce. Council level, not this street. Shown for context, not counted.

  • Housing Delivery Test 2025: Dacorum

    Dacorum delivered 1,578 homes against 3,051 required over the three years to March 2025 (52%). Below 75%: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies, with the 20% buffer and the action plan. Planning applications for housing are then to be approved unless the harm would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, or national policies protecting areas such as green belt, flood zones or heritage give a strong reason to refuse. In practice more new housing gets approved, including on sites the local plan did not allocate: relevant to buyers near open land, farmland or large plots. The Housing Delivery Test (MHCLG) compares the homes delivered in each planning area over three years with the number required by its plan or by national housing need. Consequences are cumulative: an action plan below 95%, a 20% buffer below 85%, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development below 75%. The presumption can also apply when a council cannot show five years' supply of housing land; that is not recorded here. Council level, not this street. Shown for context, not counted.

Affluence todayAffluent An affluent neighbourhood: household income after housing costs higher than 86% of neighbourhoods in England, and houses around £450k, dearer than 75%. Area signals point away from gentrification against Dacorum (the gentrification indication). How well off the neighbourhood is today, from 4 money measures listed in the full evidence; a label, not a score.
Gentrification signalsMoving the other way 2 of 17 measured signals point towards rising affluence against the borough, 4 the other way and 11 in line. Weighing each by how directly it tracks rising incomes and values (1 to 5), the balance is -0.15, on a scale from -1 (all the other way) to +1 (all rising). A reading of the signals, not a prediction. Each signal is listed below.
Plug-in cars5.9% here, up from 2.6% in 2023 · Dacorum 6.1% · England 5.4% Share of the privately kept cars licensed in Dacorum 001 at the end of June 2026 that are plug-in (battery electric or plug-in hybrid): 5.9%, against Dacorum 6.1%, East of England 5.3%, England 5.4%. In June 2023: 2.6% here and 2.6% across Dacorum, so +3.3 points here against +3.4. Its growth against Dacorum is one of the counted signals below; public charging points are not.
Household income£69,100 here vs £66,100 Dacorum ONS estimate of average household income before tax in Dacorum 001, 2022/23 (95% range £59,300 to £80,500), against the median of Dacorum's 22 neighbourhoods (our own figure): up 26% since 2011/12, against +34% for the typical Dacorum neighbourhood; higher than 13 of Dacorum's 21 other neighbourhoods. Modelled survey estimates: small differences mean little.

Affluence today
Affluent

An affluent neighbourhood: household income after housing costs higher than 86% of neighbourhoods in England, and houses around £450k, dearer than 75%. Area signals point away from gentrification against Dacorum (the gentrification indication). How well off the neighbourhood is today, from 4 money measures listed in the full evidence; a label, not a score.

Gentrification signals
Moving the other way

2 of 17 measured signals point towards rising affluence against the borough, 4 the other way and 11 in line. Weighing each by how directly it tracks rising incomes and values (1 to 5), the balance is -0.15, on a scale from -1 (all the other way) to +1 (all rising). A reading of the signals, not a prediction. Each signal is listed below.

Plug-in cars
5.9% here, up from 2.6% in 2023 · Dacorum 6.1% · England 5.4%

Share of the privately kept cars licensed in Dacorum 001 at the end of June 2026 that are plug-in (battery electric or plug-in hybrid): 5.9%, against Dacorum 6.1%, East of England 5.3%, England 5.4%. In June 2023: 2.6% here and 2.6% across Dacorum, so +3.3 points here against +3.4. Its growth against Dacorum is one of the counted signals below; public charging points are not.

Household income
£69,100 here vs £66,100 Dacorum

ONS estimate of average household income before tax in Dacorum 001, 2022/23 (95% range £59,300 to £80,500), against the median of Dacorum's 22 neighbourhoods (our own figure): up 26% since 2011/12, against +34% for the typical Dacorum neighbourhood; higher than 13 of Dacorum's 21 other neighbourhoods. Modelled survey estimates: small differences mean little.

Lifestyle businesses
9 here (fitness 5, dog and pet care 1, architects and interiors 1, coffee 1, florists 1) · 4 new in 3 years, in line with Dacorum

Live companies with a registered office in Dacorum 001 of the kinds on a reviewed list (yoga and pilates studios, dog groomers, walkers and pet care, architects and interior designers, coffee roasters and specialist coffee, florists, wine merchants and wine bars, personal trainers and fitness studios): 3.8 per 1,000 households, against 1.4 across Dacorum. 4 new lifestyle companies in 3 years here (1.7 per 1,000 households) against 0.6 across Dacorum (3.1×); the Dacorum rate would give 1.3 here. Fewer than 5 new here: in line (too few to stand out). Companies House, October 2026; a registered office is not always where a business trades, and addresses holding 50 or more companies are left out.

Homes against local pay
10.1 times local pay

Homes in Dacorum cost 10.1 times the median full-time pay of people living there in 2025 (East of England 8.5, England 7.6), up from 9.8 in 2015. Residents' median full-time pay £44,485, +26% in 5 years.

Local businesses
152 here · 29.7 per 100 homes (Dacorum 13.6)

Live companies registered in this small area, per 100 households. Largest groups here: tech and professional services 21% (Dacorum 22%), construction and trades 12% (Dacorum 14%), shops, wholesale and motor trade 9% (Dacorum 11%). Companies House, October 2026; registered offices are not always where a business trades, and addresses holding 50 or more companies are left out.

Solar panels and heat pumps
5.4% here, up from 4.0% · Dacorum 2.6% · England 3.1%

Share of the 261 energy certificates for existing homes lodged in Dacorum 001 from July 2023 to June 2026 that record solar panels or a heat pump as main heating (4.0% of 302 from July 2020 to June 2023). Money going into homes; its growth against Dacorum is one of the counted signals below.

New homes certified here
16 in 3 years (6.8 per 1,000 homes; Dacorum 20)

New-home energy certificates lodged in Dacorum 001 from July 2023 to June 2026. Every new home, built or converted, needs one when it is finished, so this counts homes finished, not planned. Per 1,000 households at the 2021 Census: 6.8 here, 20 across Dacorum, 24 across England. Developers building here is a sign they expect homes to sell; its rate against Dacorum is one of the counted signals below.

Life expectancy
Women 84.6, men 82.0 here · Dacorum 84.1, 80.8 · England 83.0, 79.1

Similar to Dacorum for both women and men; similar to England for women, higher for men. ONS estimates of life expectancy at birth in Dacorum 001, 2019 to 2023: women 84.6 (95% range 82.9 to 86.3), men 82.0 (79.9 to 84.1); East of England 83.7 and 80.0. Pooled over five years of deaths in a small area, so the ranges are wide and small differences mean little.

Life satisfaction
7.6 of 10 in Dacorum · East of England 7.5 · UK 7.5 (2022/23)

Similar to East of England and the UK. Life satisfaction out of 10, April 2022 to March 2023: Dacorum 7.60 (95% range 7.24 to 7.95), East of England 7.50 (7.43 to 7.56), UK 7.45 (7.43 to 7.47). Happiness 7.71 (7.28 to 8.14), similar to East of England and the UK. Anxiety (lower is better) 2.87 (2.19 to 3.56), similar to East of England and the UK. ONS's Annual Population Survey asks a sample of adults in each council, usually a few hundred people, so a council's 95% range is wide; following ONS, a difference whose ranges overlap is read as similar. The latest stored council release covers April 2022 to March 2023. These are historical estimates, not a current wellbeing reading. ONS paused council estimates after 2022/23 because of Annual Population Survey quality concerns. As checked on 13 October 2026, ONS has provisionally scheduled a new release covering April 2024 to March 2026 for December 2026; those estimates are not published yet. Council level, not this street. Shown for context, not counted.

Jobs in this neighbourhood
2,220 · no clear change since 2019 (Dacorum +38%, East +4%)

Jobs at workplaces in Dacorum 001 in September 2024 (2024 is provisional): employees and working owners in every industry but agriculture, forestry and fishing. 1,980 in 2019, 2,220 in 2024: +12%, within what ONS's rounding allows, so no clear change. Over the same years: Dacorum +38%, East +4%, England +5%. ONS rounds a figure of about 2,220 to the nearest 250 (500 where a few businesses dominate).

Direction dial
2 of 17 rising

Signals pointing towards rising affluence against the borough; 4 pointing the other way. Each signal is listed below the dial.

Prices vs borough (points)
Houses -2

Change in the neighbourhood's resale median minus the borough's, 2017-2019 to 2023-2025, flats and houses measured separately.

Energy rating changes
39 improved · 27 unchanged · 13 worsened

79 re-certified homes here. Domestic EPCs in this small area (LSOA), re-certified in the last 3 years with an earlier certificate, against the whole borough. This is a selected sample of homes, not all housing; a changed assessment can move a rating without building work. Borough: 4433 improved (41%), 5345 unchanged (50%), 1013 worsened (9%) of 10791 re-certified homes.

Fly-tipping
11.8 per 1,000 people in Dacorum (2024/25) · East of England 15.3 · England 21.5

Up from 10.2 in 2021/22 (+16%); East of England 11.9 → 15.3, England 19.3 → 21.5. Dacorum counts every incident it deals with. Council figures: they depend on how each council records fly-tips (councils that clear streets proactively record more), so they are not a measure of this street.

  • Affluence today: every input and its weight

    Household income after housing costs (weight 3): £41,785 a year (ONS estimate of household income after housing costs, 2022/23), higher than 86% of the 6,856 neighbourhoods in England; position 86.8 of 100. Home prices (weight 2): median resales here, 2023-2025: houses £447,500 (182 sales), dearer than 75%, of neighbourhoods in England; position 75.5 of 100. Income deprivation (Indices of Deprivation 2025) (weight 3): decile 7 of 10 (1 is the most deprived tenth of England's small areas, 10 the least); position 65 of 100. Overall deprivation (Indices of Deprivation 2025) (weight 1): decile 6 of 10 (1 is the most deprived tenth of England's small areas, 10 the least); position 55 of 100. Weighted position (86.8×3 + 75.5×2 + 65×3 + 55×1) ÷ 9 = 73 of 100. Bands: Among the most affluent from 82, Affluent from 62, Middle income from 40, Below average income from 14, Among the most income-deprived from 0. Ranks are our own, against every neighbourhood in England; a decile counts at its middle (decile 8 is 75). It never feeds the verdict, the gentrification indication, the area scores, What matters or the questions.

    Affluent (4 of 4 inputs)
  • Gentrification indication: every signal and its weight

    Rising: Recorded crime (weight 2), Air quality (weight 1). In line: Resale prices (weight 5), Household income (weight 5), Recent price momentum (weight 3), Degree-educated residents (weight 3), Plug-in car growth (weight 3), Solar and heat pumps (weight 2), New stations nearby (weight 2), Residents aged 25 to 29 (weight 1), Single-person households under 65 (weight 1), New-build activity (weight 1), Lifestyle businesses (weight 1). The other way: Benefit claims (DWP) (weight 4), Income deprivation ranking (weight 3), Anti-social behaviour (weight 1), Homes selling (weight 1). Not measurable here: Schools improving (weight 3), Home improvement applications (weight 3), Premium home works (weight 3), Premium and budget brands (weight 1). Each weight, from 1 to 5, says how directly a signal tracks rising incomes and values; the balance is the weight rising minus the weight pointing the other way, divided by the weight of every measured signal, from -1 to +1. The four DWP income measures count as one signal; context rows are not counted. Shown for context, not counted: Prices over ten years, Homes improving their energy rating, New companies registered, New cafés, creative and fitness businesses, Borough against the region. Weights and bands from our reviewed list (data/reference/gentrification-weights.json, reviewed 13 October 2026), not an official measure.

    Share of residents aged 16+ whose highest qualification is Level 4 (degree) or above, in Dacorum 001. The borough figure uses the same neighbourhoods in both censuses. Degrees became more common everywhere between the censuses, so only the gap against the borough says anything about this area.

    35% → 41% (+6 pts) vs Dacorum +7 pts
  • Single-person households under 65, 2011 → 2021

    Share of households of one person below pension age, in Dacorum 001. The borough figure uses the same neighbourhoods in both censuses. Often young professionals renting or buying alone; also older people on their own.

    16% → 16% (-1 pts) vs Dacorum -1 pts
  • Privately renting households, 2011 → 2021

    Share of households renting from a private landlord or other private arrangement, in Dacorum 001. The borough figure uses the same neighbourhoods in both censuses. More private renting can mean new arrivals or fewer people able to buy; on its own it is not a sign of rising affluence.

    12% → 11% (-1 pts) vs Dacorum +2 pts
  • Residents aged 25 to 29, 2011 → 2021

    Share of residents aged 25 to 29 (the 2011 census groups 30 to 44 together, so this is the comparable young-adult band), in Dacorum 001. The borough figure uses the same neighbourhoods in both censuses. Areas drawing young professionals gain people in their late twenties faster than the borough.

  • Recorded crime, excluding anti-social behaviour

    Police.uk street-level records in Dacorum 001, the 12 months to August 2024 against the 12 months to August 2026 (Sep 2023 to Aug 2024; Sep 2025 to Aug 2026). Over the same months: East of England +2%, England (273 of 296 council areas) -1%. Counts, not rates: population change is unknown between these years. Changes in recording or policing can move these figures as much as real change.

  • Deprivation ranking, 2019 → 2025

    English Indices of Deprivation for this small area (E01023431). Decile 1 is the most deprived tenth of England, 10 the least. Ranks are relative: moving up means other areas fell behind or this one improved, not an absolute measure. Income decile 9 → 7, education 8 → 8, crime 5 → 9.

    Decile 5 → 6 (+2.6 pts) vs Dacorum -3.2 pts
  • Household income, 2011/12 → 2022/23

    ONS model-based estimates (Income estimates for small areas) for Dacorum 001: 2011/12 £54,800, 2013/14 £55,300, 2015/16 £54,700, 2017/18 £54,300, 2019/20 £55,900, 2022/23 £69,100. In 2022/23, after tax £52,300; adjusted for household size, £46,300 before housing costs and £41,800 after. Allowing for the 95% ranges, it is not clearly different from any of Dacorum's other neighbourhoods. The borough figure is our own: the median of the council's neighbourhoods in each edition. These are modelled survey estimates, each with a 95% confidence interval, so small differences between areas or years mean little; ONS cautions that its method is built for single years rather than change, and 2022/23 used new neighbourhood boundaries and new model inputs. No estimates exist for 2020/21 or 2021/22; 2011/12 and 2013/14 were published as weekly incomes and are shown as annual (× 365.25 ÷ 7, as ONS does).

  • Income deprivation, 2019 → 2025

    Income domain of the English Indices of Deprivation for this small area (E01023431): in 2025, 12.4% of the population here was counted as income-deprived (out of work, or on a low income and receiving benefits or tax credits), decile 7 of England (1 is the most deprived tenth, 10 the least). Ranks are relative, and the rates are not comparable between editions (2025 counts Universal Credit), so only the change in national position is compared. Income deprivation affecting children: decile 9 → 8. This is the counted deprivation signal; the overall ranking is shown beside it for context, because it already includes income.

    Decile 9 → 7 (-16.1 pts) vs Dacorum -4.4 pts
  • Homes against local pay in Dacorum, 2002 → 2025

    Homes in Dacorum cost 10.1 times the median full-time pay of people living there in 2025 (East of England 8.5, England 7.6), up from 9.8 in 2015. Residents' median full-time pay £44,485, +26% in 5 years. ONS House price to residence-based earnings ratio: the median price paid for homes in the year to September against the median gross annual pay of full-time employees who live in the council area (not everyone who works there, and not part-time pay). Council level, not this street. Shown, not counted: a rising ratio can mean demand from beyond the area or stretched prices.

  • Borough against the region: Dacorum against the East of England

    Prices +16% against +17% (UK House Price Index, 2017–2019 → 2023–2025): in line (a gap of -1 points; 5 or more counts). Household income +34% against +34% for the typical neighbourhood (2011/12 → 2022/23): in line (a gap of 0 points; 5 or more counts). Income deprivation ranks -4.4 against -1.2 percentile points of national position (2019 → 2025; up is less deprived): behind (a gap of -3.2 points; 2.5 or more counts). Residents with a degree +7 against +6 points (2011 → 2021): in line (a gap of +1 points; 1.5 or more counts). Wider-area context, the same for every neighbourhood in Dacorum: at least 2 measures ahead, and more ahead than behind, points towards rising affluence; at least 2 behind, and more behind than ahead, points the other way. The neighbourhood's own signals compare it with Dacorum; this one compares Dacorum with the East of England, shown separately from the local-change calculation. The council and region figures for household income, income deprivation and degrees are our own, from their neighbourhoods and small areas.

  • Life expectancy at birth, 2019 to 2023

    ONS estimates for Dacorum 001: women 84.6 (95% range 82.9 to 86.3), men 82.0 (79.9 to 84.1); Dacorum 84.1 and 80.8, East of England 83.7 and 80.0, England 83.0 and 79.1 (women, men), the same five years and method. Similar to Dacorum for both women and men; similar to England for women, higher for men. "Similar" means the other figure falls within the 95% range here. It is how long a newborn would live at the death rates recorded among people living here in those years: a summary of the area's health, not a forecast. A care home, hospice or hostel in the neighbourhood lowers it, and people move in and out. A neighbourhood has 5,000 to 15,000 people, so its range is several years wide.

Without a disability that limits daily activities: women 70.8, men 70.7 here (Dacorum 69.0 and 68.6; England 66.7 and 66.0).

ONS rates it acceptable rather than precise: read it with caution. ONS's thresholds in Dacorum: 25.8% (15.9 to 35.6) very high (9 to 10); 18.9% (10.9 to 27.0) report high anxiety (6 to 10). ONS's Annual Population Survey asks a sample of adults in each council, usually a few hundred people, so a council's 95% range is wide; following ONS, a difference whose ranges overlap is read as similar.

    Net additional homes (MHCLG: new builds plus conversions and changes of use, minus demolitions), 2020-21 to 2024-25. Latest: 472 in 2024-25 (provisional), 7.0 per 1,000 homes. Housing Delivery Test: 52%: presumption in favour of sustainable development. Details and the yearly chart are under Planning and local change. Many new homes can mean regeneration, new shops and services and a growing area, or more competition from new-build sales and busier roads, schools and GP surgeries; few can mean a settled area where homes are scarce.

  • Plug-in cars, June 2023 → June 2026

    DfT and DVLA vehicle licensing statistics for the small areas of Dacorum 001: privately kept licensed cars (3,503 at the end of June 2026, 3,501 in June 2023) and privately kept licensed plug-in vehicles (battery electric, plug-in hybrid and range-extended). Vehicles are counted at the registered keeper's address; company and lease cars are left out, because they are registered at the company's address, often a leasing firm's. DfT does not split plug-in vehicles by body type for small areas, so the few privately kept plug-in vans and motorcycles are counted too (almost all are cars). DfT withholds counts of 1 to 4 vehicles in a small area and leaves out small areas that never had 5; where that leaves a share uncertain it is shown as a range, never estimated. The council, region and nation are the sums of their small areas (our own figures). Plug-in cars are easier to own with a driveway or garage to charge at home, so areas of flats and on-street parking can read lower for that reason alone. Growth against the council is a counted signal (owner's decision, 26 September 2026); public charging points are not, because councils put them where homes lack driveways.

Great Britain: average 10.7 years old, 7,600 miles a year. Most tested makes here: Ford 12%, Volkswagen 10%, Vauxhall 6.8%, Audi 6.6%, Toyota 5.9%. Premium brands are a reviewed list of 22 makes (Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Range Rover, Jaguar, Porsche and the luxury makers; data/reference/premium-car-brands.json, reviewed 2026-09-27). Age is from the first use date to the test; yearly mileage is each car's odometer reading over its age, left out where it was not read or implies more than 60,000 miles a year. The postcode area is where the test station is, not where the car is kept: it is very broad (the whole AL area, many miles across), never this street. Only cars 3 years old or more need a test, so newer cars are missing and the figures lean older. Class 4 covers cars, taxis, motor caravans and vans up to 3,000 kg (the data has no body type). Each vehicle is counted once, at its first normal test of the year; retests are left out. Shown for context only; never counted towards the area's direction.

  • Energy rating changes

    Domestic EPCs in this small area (LSOA), re-certified in the last 3 years with an earlier certificate, against the whole borough. This is a selected sample of homes, not all housing; a changed assessment can move a rating without building work.

  • Solar panels and heat pumps, July 2023 to June 2026

    Domestic energy certificates for existing homes (RdSAP) lodged in Dacorum 001, placed in the neighbourhood by their postcode. A certificate is made when a home is sold, let or improved, so this reads the homes certified, not every home. Solar panels are counted where the certificate records panels on the roof; a heat pump only where it is the main heating. Homes of social landlords and certificates made for ECO, grant schemes, the Green Deal or stock condition surveys are left out, because public retrofit money goes to those homes first; new homes are counted separately (their certificates do not record panels the same way). Older certificates often do not record tenure, so the earliest years can include some social landlords' homes.

    5.4% here (3 with panels, 11 with a heat pump, of 261) vs Dacorum 2.6%
  • New homes certified here, July 2023 to June 2026

    Energy certificates lodged for new homes ("new dwelling"), placed in the neighbourhood by their postcode: new-build homes and homes made by converting other buildings, counted when finished. Homes still being built or only planned are not counted; planning applications show those. The rate is per household at the 2021 Census, so a neighbourhood that has grown a lot since then reads a little high.

Counted where people work, not where they live; a person with two jobs counts twice. ONS rounds a figure of about 2,220 to the nearest 250 (500 where a few businesses dominate), so a small neighbourhood moves in steps and one year's change means little.

  • Anti-social behaviour, the 12 months to August 2024 → the 12 months to August 2026

    Police.uk reports of anti-social behaviour (noise, nuisance, rowdiness) in Dacorum 001, counted over the same months and police forces as recorded crime; they are not crimes. It tends to move with recorded crime, which is counted separately, and forces record it differently, so only the change against the borough is read. Changes in how reports are taken or recorded can move it as much as real change.

  • Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) in the air, 2019 → 2024

    Defra's modelled background annual mean for the 1 km squares of Dacorum 001's postcodes (our own average, each square weighted by its postcodes). Fine particles (PM2.5): 10.5 → 7.1 µg/m³ (-32%) against -30% across Dacorum; mostly carried in from further away, so shown, not counted. NO₂ comes mostly from road traffic, so a faster fall than the council's can follow cleaner vehicles, fewer journeys or new traffic schemes nearby. Background levels leave out the extra pollution right beside a busy road. Each year is modelled with that year's emissions and checked against that year's measurements, so part of any change can come from the model; the council shares the same model, which is why only the gap against it is counted. 2020 was lower everywhere during the lockdowns.

    666 homes in Dacorum had been empty for more than six months in October 2025, out of 68,352 homes (the dwelling stock at 31 March 2025). In October 2019: 480. From the council tax base: homes liable for council tax and empty for over six months. Homes empty for reasons that carry an exemption (such as probate or a stay in a care home) are not in this count, and the count moves with how the council classifies and charges empty homes (councils in England may charge a premium on homes empty for a year or more from April 2024, two years before), so a sudden jump can be a change in recording. A share well above the region's can mean weak demand or homes waiting for sale or repair; this is the whole council, not this street. Shown for context, never counted.

    1.0% of homes, up from 0.7% in 2019 (East of England 1.1%, England 1.2%)
  • Fly-tipping in Dacorum, 2021/22 → 2024/25

    1,899 fly-tipping incidents dealt with by Dacorum in 2024/25 (Defra), against a mid-year population of 161,420. Dacorum counts every incident it deals with. Councils record fly-tips on different bases (every incident they deal with, or only those reported by the public), so a trend is read only across years counted the same way, and councils are best compared with themselves. Defra's region and England figures include its estimates for missing returns. Shown for context, never counted; amber only when it has risen 25% or more over 3 years and is above the region.

    10.2 → 11.8 per 1,000 people (+16%) · East of England +29% · England +11%
  • Premium home works vs borough

    Not compared: too few households nearby for a rate. Applications of the last 3 years for basements and cellars, swimming pools, garden offices and rooms, orangeries, tennis and padel courts, home cinemas and gyms, and wine cellars, read from each description with a reviewed list of words; businesses, clubs, new flats, HMOs and paperwork on earlier permissions are left out (recorded by PlanIt). Counted towards rising affluence at 1.5× the council's rate or more, when more than chance would explain; a lower rate is never counted the other way.

    None recorded
  • Larger schemes approved within 500 m, last 3 years

    Larger schemes (10 or more homes, or PlanIt's large applications) approved in the last 3 years with the number of homes stated, one per site (its latest approval); homes as each application states them, not net of homes replaced (recorded by PlanIt). Shown for context, not counted: an approval is a plan, and homes can take years to build.

    None recorded
  • Cafés, creative and fitness businesses registered here, last 3 years

    0 cafés, restaurants and bars, 2 design, architecture, arts and media, 3 fitness and wellbeing. From each company's declared business codes (a reviewed list), against the whole borough. These types often arrive early where an area is changing, but a registration is not proof that a business trades here.

  • New companies registered here, last 3 years

    Companies still on the register with a registered office in this small area (Companies House snapshot 2026-10-01), per Census 2021 household, against the whole borough. Addresses holding 50 or more companies (formation agents, accountants, virtual offices) are left out. A registered office is not always where a business trades.

Each company counts once, by the first business code (SIC 2007) it declares, grouped on a reviewed list. Registered offices only: a business can trade elsewhere, and many small companies are run from home.

  • New companies each year, still registered

    Companies with a registered office in this small area by the year they were incorporated, counting only those still on the register in October 2026; across Dacorum: 2021 440, 2022 492, 2023 560, 2024 720, 2025 1,000, 2026 875. Older years look lower partly because companies close.

Set 'counted' to true to count them). Each company counts once, in the first kind it fits, from its business codes (SIC 2007) and the words in its name; only active companies count. Beauty and aesthetics are not counted: beauty and aesthetics (hairdressers, barbers, nail and lash bars, aesthetics and skin clinics) are left out: on the September 2026 snapshot new ones per household are 2.3 times as common in the most deprived tenth of England as in the least deprived (0.43 against 0.19 per 1,000 households in 3 years, 11,009 in all), so they would count against the direction the signal measures.

  • Private rents in Dacorum, Aug 2026

    ONS Price Index of Private Rents, average monthly rent across all property sizes, borough level (not this street). East of England: £1,289, +3.5% in a year.

    £1,594 a month · +1.3% in a year
  • House prices lately, 2022–2023 → 2024–2025

    Average of yearly resale medians, weighted by sales (146 then 118 sales here). An earlier and noisier signal than the 3-year comparison above; a gap under 5 points is ordinary variation.

    +7% here vs +2% Dacorum
  • House prices over ten years, 2013–2015 → 2023–2025

    Average of yearly resale medians, weighted by sales (265 then 182 sales here), the same resales as above over a longer span. Shown for context, not counted: over ten years the cheapest neighbourhoods' prices rise fastest in percentage terms from a low base, so it would read rising in many low-priced town centres without helping places known to be changing.

    +36% here vs +50% Dacorum
  • Homes sold, 2022–2023 → 2024–2025

    167 then 130 standard resales in this neighbourhood (houses and flats). Rising sales often show demand before prices move; interest rates move every area together, so the gap against the borough matters.

    -22% here vs 0% Dacorum
  • Rents against prices in Dacorum, 2015 → 2025

    House rents have risen faster than house prices, so yields have gone up; flat rents have risen faster than flat prices, so yields have gone up. Rising yields often draw buy-to-let investment. Yearly averages of ONS monthly private rents against HM Land Registry's yearly median resale prices for the whole borough, the same figures as the chart; not this street.

    Houses: rents +46%, prices +36% · flats: rents +45%, prices +30%
  • Estimated gross rental yield in Dacorum, 2015 → 2025

    Houses: 2015 3.9%, 2016 3.8%, 2017 3.7%, 2018 3.9%, 2019 4.0%, 2020 3.7%, 2021 3.7%, 2022 3.6%, 2023 3.8%, 2024 4.0%, 2025 4.2%. Flats: 2015 5.1%, 2016 4.6%, 2017 4.6%, 2018 4.8%, 2019 4.8%, 2020 4.9%, 2021 4.9%, 2022 4.9%, 2023 5.1%, 2024 5.6%, 2025 5.6%. Each year: 12 × the average monthly private rent ÷ the median resale price (a house rent is the simple average of terraced, semi-detached and detached rents). A rough borough-level estimate that sets two different official sources side by side: the ONS index of what tenants pay across all private rents (existing tenancies as well as new lets) and the median price of the homes that sold (HM Land Registry). Before costs, empty months and mortgage interest; not the yield on this home, and never a valuation.

    Houses 3.9% → 4.2% · flats 5.1% → 5.6%
  • Resale prices In line with the borough

    Change against Dacorum: houses -2 points.

  • Recent price momentum In line with the borough

    Houses +7% here against +2% across the borough, 2022–2023 → 2024–2025.

  • Prices over ten years Context, not counted

    Context, not counted: over ten years the cheapest neighbourhoods' prices rise fastest in percentage terms from a low base, so it would read rising in many low-priced town centres without helping places known to be changing. Houses +36% here against +50% across Dacorum, 2013–2015 → 2023–2025. A gap under 10 points is ordinary variation over ten years.

  • Degree-educated residents In line with the borough

    2011 → 2021: +6 points here against +7 across the borough.

  • Residents aged 25 to 29 In line with the borough

    2011 → 2021: -1 points here against 0 across the borough.

  • Single-person households under 65 In line with the borough

    2011 → 2021: -1 points here against -1 across the borough.

  • Recorded crime Towards rising affluence

    Recorded crime changed -5% here against +5% across the borough. Falling faster than the borough counts towards rising affluence; rising faster counts against.

  • Anti-social behaviour The other way

    Reports of anti-social behaviour changed +54% here (81 → 125) against -7% across Dacorum, the 12 months to August 2026 against the 12 months to August 2024. Rising faster than across Dacorum by 20 points or more counts the other way. It tends to move with recorded crime, which is counted as its own signal, so the two often agree; forces record anti-social behaviour differently, so it is compared only with the borough.

  • Deprivation ranking Context, not counted

    Context, not counted: the income domain below is counted instead, so income counts once. 2019 → 2025 national position moved +2.6 percentile points; the borough average moved -3.2.

  • Income deprivation ranking The other way

    2019 → 2025 national position on the income domain moved -16.1 percentile points; the Dacorum average moved -4.4. The overall ranking, which already includes income, moved +2.6 and is shown beside it for context only.

  • Household income In line with the borough

    Average household income 2011/12 → 2022/23: +26% here against +34% for the typical neighbourhood in Dacorum (the median of 21 others with unchanged boundaries). A gap under 10 points is ordinary variation.

  • People on Universal Credit In line with the borough

    May 2023 → May 2026: 270 → 300 here (+11%) against 10,669 → 12,638 across Dacorum (+18%), a gap of −7 points. People on Universal Credit (DWP Stat-Xplore). Leaves out people DWP marks as moved across from older benefits by Move to UC (61 here and 2,844 across Dacorum in May 2026), whose arrival would otherwise read as more need. Rising faster than the borough counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.

  • Children in low-income families The other way

    2021/22 → 2024/25: 70 → 92 here (+31%) against 3,325 → 3,694 across Dacorum (+11%), a gap of +20 points. Children under 16 in relative low-income families, before housing costs (DWP and HMRC, Stat-Xplore). Rising faster than the borough counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.

  • Households getting help with rent In line with the borough

    March 2023 → March 2026: 247 → 259 here (+5%) against 11,242 → 12,263 across Dacorum (+9%), a gap of −4 points. Housing Benefit and Universal Credit housing entitlement together, every tenure, so claims moving from one to the other are not counted as change (DWP Stat-Xplore). Rising faster than the borough counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.

  • Pension Credit In line with the borough

    February 2023 → March 2026 (the nearest earlier quarter DWP publishes): 57 → 61 here (+7%) against 2,046 → 2,177 across Dacorum (+6%), a gap of +1 points. Pension Credit claimants (DWP Stat-Xplore). Rising faster than the borough counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.

  • Council Tax Support (borough against England) In line with the borough

    June 2023 → June 2026: 7,308 → 7,806 claimants across Dacorum (+7%) against 3,737,417 → 3,635,623 across England (−3%), a gap of +10 points. Local Council Tax Support claimants, pensioners and working age together (MHCLG), as a share of households: the borough's change, the same for every neighbourhood in it. Each council in England sets its own scheme for working-age people, so a change can also follow a change to the scheme. Rising faster than England counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.

  • Plug-in car growth In line with the borough

    Share of privately kept cars that are plug-in, June 2023 → June 2026: +3.3 points here (2.6% → 5.9%) against +3.4 across Dacorum (2.6% → 6.1%). A gap under 1 point is ordinary variation.

  • Schools improving Not measurable here

    No state primary school within 1.5 km or secondary school within 3 km.

  • Air quality Towards rising affluence

    Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) in the air, 2019 → 2024: -37% here (12.1 → 7.6 µg/m³) against -33% across Dacorum (13.5 → 9.1). Falling faster than across Dacorum by 3 points or more counts towards rising affluence (cleaner air). Defra's modelled background levels, averaged over the 1 km squares of the neighbourhood's postcodes; the extra pollution right beside a busy road is not included.

  • Solar and heat pumps In line with the borough

    Certificates for existing homes recording solar panels or a heat pump, July 2023 to June 2026: 5.4% here (4.0% in the 3 years before) against 2.6% across Dacorum (1.9% before). It counts towards rising affluence only when ahead of Dacorum by 1.5 points and growing faster by 1 point; behind or slower is not counted the other way, because flats rarely get panels or heat pumps.

  • New-build activity In line with the borough

    16 new homes certified here from July 2023 to June 2026, 6.8 per 1,000 households, against Dacorum 20. At least 2 times the council's rate, and at least 30 homes, counts towards rising affluence; fewer is not counted the other way.

  • Lifestyle businesses In line with the borough

    4 new lifestyle companies in 3 years here (1.7 per 1,000 households) against 0.6 across Dacorum (3.1×); the Dacorum rate would give 1.3 here. Fewer than 5 new here: in line (too few to stand out).

  • Premium and budget brands Not measurable here

    Food premises are not tracked here yet.

  • Home improvement applications Not measurable here

    Not compared: too few households nearby for a rate.

  • Premium home works Not measurable here

    Not compared: too few households nearby for a rate.

  • Homes improving their energy rating Context, not counted

    Context, not counted: Selective re-certification, assessment changes, grants and the starting housing stock can change this rate without establishing rising local affluence. 49% of 79 homes re-certified in the last 3 years improved their rating, against 41% across the borough.

  • New companies registered Context, not counted

    Context, not counted: new company registrations read up more often where incomes fell behind the borough than where they rose, so they are shown but not counted. 28.0 a year per 1,000 households in this small area against 14.3 across the borough (2.0×).

  • New cafés, creative and fitness businesses Context, not counted

    Context, not counted: it comes from the same Companies House registrations, which read up more often where incomes fell behind the borough than where they rose. 3.3 a year per 1,000 households here against 1.7 across the borough (1.9×).

  • Homes selling The other way

    Sales 2022–2023 → 2024–2025: -22% here against 0% across the borough.

  • New stations nearby In line with the borough

    No new rail, Underground, metro or tram stop within 1.5 km since 2016.

  • Borough against the region Context, not counted

    Context, not counted: Council-wide momentum is shown separately: it does not establish change within this neighbourhood. Dacorum against the East of England: prices +16% against +17% (UK House Price Index, 2017–2019 → 2023–2025); household income +34% against +34% for the typical neighbourhood (2011/12 → 2022/23); income deprivation ranks -4.4 against -1.2 percentile points of national position (2019 → 2025; up is less deprived); residents with a degree +7 against +6 points (2011 → 2021). 0 of 4 point towards rising affluence and 1 the other way, so it is keeping pace with the East of England. The same council-wide context for every neighbourhood in Dacorum; shown separately from local change.

  • Jobs nearby Context, not counted

    Context, not counted: jobs are shown beside the signals and do not move the indication. Jobs in this neighbourhood showed no clear change from 2019 to 2024, against Dacorum +38%. Growing 5 points faster than the borough would point towards rising affluence; slower, the other way.

How many are mapped within 1 km (nurseries within 2 km); the dashed mark is what a typical home in Dacorum has within the same distance (our own average over Census 2021 output areas, weighted by households). Places from OpenStreetMap, mapped by volunteers, so some are missing and mapping varies from place to place; nurseries from Ofsted's register, by name. Describes places, never the people nearby; never scored.

Branches of well-known supermarket, food shop and café brands mapped on OpenStreetMap, placed by the weight in the reviewed brand list (Waitrose, M&S Food, GAIL's and others premium; Aldi, Lidl, Asda, Iceland and others discount), straight-line distance.

  • High street positioning (experimental)

    No listed chain branch is mapped within 1 km; at least 5 are needed. Wider destination context: within 5 km 2.5 (8 branded places); across the UK 2.6 (46,133). The average weight, on the reviewed brand list's scale (1 budget, 2 value, 3 mainstream, 4 premium, 5 luxury), of the chain branches mapped on OpenStreetMap within 1 km, each branch counted once, including branded hotels within that same 1 km. Experimental and chains only: independent shops, cafés and restaurants have no weight and are not counted, so a high street of independents can read low or have too few to say. It describes brands and supplies the optional high street input of the experimental Neighbourhood score; it does not feed the verdict or the area's direction. Wider averages are destination context, not like-for-like local comparisons.

Nearest budget: Harvester, 2.7 km; Horse and Jockey (Table Table), 4.0 km. Chains are placed by their weight in the reviewed brand list, from their usual prices: high-end where two courses and a drink usually cost about £50 or more a head (Hawksmoor, Gaucho, The Ivy, Nobu), mid-range about £20 to £50 (PizzaExpress, Wagamama, Nando's) and budget about £20 or less (Toby Carvery, Harvester, Wetherspoon, Pizza Hut), pub-dining chains included. Independent restaurants have no open price data, so their prices are not guessed. Curry houses and fish and chip shops are counted in the takeaways row unless they belong to a listed chain.

    Ground height above sea level (Ordnance Datum Newlyn) at the postcode's centre point (choose the home on the map for its own point), read between the four nearest points of OS Terrain 50's 50 m grid (OS Terrain 50, July 2026 edition; ground surveyed from the air in June 2023). Ordnance Survey states the grid is accurate to about 4 m. It is the ground, not the floor: an upstairs flat sits higher. Dacorum's homes stand from about 72 m to about 228 m, half of them below about 131 m: 63,397 households in 483 Census 2021 output areas, each counted at its area's population-weighted centre (our own ladder). Across England, it is higher than about 93% of homes. Higher ground is something some buyers prefer (views, drainage); it is not a flood figure: flooding is in Environmental checks.

What is on the high street

Premises within 800 m of the home in a straight line, as each source records them on the date shown, beside what a typical home in the council has within the same distance. They describe the premises, never the people nearby, and are never scored or counted towards the area's direction.

High street mix (experimental): Too few to say · a typical Dacorum home: too few to say. 0 upmarket and 0 budget places weighed within 800 m. Left out, with no count here: takeaways and sandwich shops. A typical Dacorum home: too few to say.

Experimental. Each row weighs from −2 (budget) to +2 (upmarket), shown beside it; rows that weigh 0 lean neither way. The balance is the sum of each count times its weight over the sum of each count times its weight's size, from −1 to +1: leans upmarket from +0.30, leans budget from −0.30, with at least 5 places weighed. Takeaways lean budget only where they outnumber restaurants and cafés, and then only the extra ones. It describes the shops, never the people who run or use them, and is never used in the verdict, What matters, questions, the area's direction or any score.

  • Asking prices, price cuts and time on the market: not open data. The agent has the listing history; compare it with the sold prices here.
  • Subsidence: the ground under the home is not checked, because the British Geological Survey's detailed maps are paid for.

  • Road adoption, parking permits, the real broadband speed on this line, neighbour disputes, exact boundaries and covenants: these come from the local search, the seller's forms (TA6, TA10 and, for a leasehold, TA7), the title and your own checks.
  • The condition of the home: only a survey can tell you.

Recorded crime

The map shows up to 50 returned anonymised locations and the list shows the top 8 categories. Counts are not population-adjusted, anti-social behaviour is not a crime total, and coordinates cannot attribute an event to a home. Crime detail: Police.uk street-level archive (Open Government Licence v3.0); outcomes are the latest recorded for each crime and change as cases conclude. Crime rates in context: every area counts the same 12 months, crimes excluding anti-social behaviour and the same police forces (British Transport Police, Dyfed-Powys Police, Gloucestershire Constabulary and Northumbria Police are left out everywhere because their Police.uk data is incomplete in the months compared, so the areas they police are not in the regional or national rates), over Census 2021 residents.

CCTV cameras: © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL 1.0), as mapped by volunteers. Councils publish few camera positions and the police none, so more cameras exist than are mapped.

Schools

GIAS establishment status at the source date. Approximate school coordinates converted from British National Grid. This is not a catchment, admissions or capacity assessment. Ofsted outcomes from Ofsted's monthly management information; report-card grades (from November 2025) and previous-framework grades are shown as published and never converted into one another. Fee-paying schools: open independent schools in Get Information about Schools within 10 km in a straight line (independent special schools counted apart; city technology colleges, which are state-funded, left out). The DfE does not publish fees. Ofsted inspects non-association independent schools: outcomes from Ofsted's non-association independent schools management information as at 31 July 2026, with whether the school met the independent school standards. Schools in an association are inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, whose reports are copyright and not open data, so they are named but not graded. Applications and offers: Department for Education, Primary and secondary school applications and offers (school-level figures, entry in September 2024 to 2026): the position on national offer day (16 April for reception, 1 March for year 7), before late applications, waiting lists and appeals. Places offered are the offers made that day, not the school's admission number (children with an education, health and care plan are placed separately), and naming a school does not mean an applicant met its admission criteria. How far away the last child offered a place lived (the "last distance offered") is set by each admission authority and not published nationally, so it is not shown or estimated here: see the council's or school's admissions pages.

Area context

Aggregate area statistics, not facts about this household or the selected building. Residents in households counts people, not households. Population density source: https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/output/census/2021/census2021-ts006.zip. Census disclosure controls can cause small inconsistencies between counts. England and Wales census vintage only. Contains ONS data under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Ethnic group, religion, country of birth, year of arrival, English, passports, national identity, main language, cars, travel to work, health, type of home and bedrooms: Census 2021 and, where the question matches, Census 2011, from the Office for National Statistics via Nomis, under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The neighbourhood is the 2021 middle layer super output area; 2011 figures are shown only where its boundary did not change. A census counts residents on census day, so comparing two shows how the mix changed, not who moved in or out.

Work and benefits

Universal Credit: DWP, People on Universal Credit and its Move to UC indicator (Stat-Xplore, May 2013 to May 2026). National Insurance registrations: DWP, NINo registrations to adult overseas nationals entering the UK (Stat-Xplore, 2016/17 to 2025/26). Children in low-income families: DWP and HMRC, relative low income before housing costs (Stat-Xplore, 2021/22 to 2024/25). Pension Credit: DWP (Stat-Xplore, February 2019 to March 2026). Help with rent: DWP, Housing Benefit (from April 2018) and Households on Universal Credit, housing entitlement by tenure (Stat-Xplore, March 2019 to March 2026). Claimant Count: ONS via Nomis (January 2013 to September 2026; neighbourhoods on 2021 areas from January 2026, on 2011 areas before, joined only where the ONS exact-fit lookup gives the same ground).

Shares and rates use Census 2021 residents and households (Office for National Statistics, Open Government Licence v3.0) and mid-year population estimates (ONS, or NRS for Scotland). DWP rounds and suppresses small numbers. These figures describe the area as a whole and say nothing about any household. National Insurance registrations are not used in any judgement, score or summary in this report. Universal Credit, children in low-income families, help with rent and Pension Credit are also set against the borough as signals in How the area is changing, and Council Tax Support (MHCLG) the borough against England (owner's decision, 26 September 2026: income trends count towards the gentrification reading); here they are only shown, and they never feed a score. People receiving PIP are shown separately: PIP is disability support, not unemployment or evidence of wealth, and it does not contribute to the gentrification reading (method revised 13 October 2026). Benefit changes can reflect eligibility, take-up and policy changes as well as economic conditions. The Claimant Count (ONS) is only shown: it is not among those signals. None of these feeds a score.

Traffic and road safety

Road safety data (STATS19) records personal-injury collisions reported to the police; damage-only collisions are not included and locations are approximate. Counts are not rates: a busy road will have more collisions simply because more people use it. Traffic flows are annual averages at DfT count points; minor-road values are often estimated.

Planning applications outside London: recorded by UK PlanIt (planit.org.uk, built by Andrew Speakman), which gathers them from council planning registers; used with thanks. PlanIt's copy can lag behind a council's register or miss applications, and councils record outcomes differently: check the council's planning register before relying on any application.

How the area is changing

Experimental. The direction dial lists separate signals, and the gentrification indication weighs them (1 to 5, from our reviewed list, by how directly each tracks rising incomes and values) and always gives the plain count beside the weighted balance; one signal compares the borough itself with its region, and in England's most income-deprived small areas a clear or strong reading needs prices and incomes both rising; it is not a gentrification score: rising prices, new cafés and falling crime can each have other causes, and none says who is moving in or out. Prices are HM Land Registry resales (standard sales, excluding new builds), pooled into 3-year windows and compared with the whole borough so city-wide growth is not mistaken for local change. Census 2011 and 2021 shares compare the same measures (qualifications of residents aged 16+, household tenure); occupation class is left out because its age range changed between the censuses. Neighbourhoods whose boundaries changed in ways that cannot be matched exactly are not compared. Crime is Police.uk street-level data (Open Government Licence v3.0) with anti-social behaviour excluded; locations are anonymised to nearby points and forces with missing months are left out. Food premises are from the FSA food hygiene register (ratings are not used); likely chains are names on a reviewed list of chain and multi-site operators found at 15 or more premises across 12 or more council areas, so a small local chain counts as independent and an unusual branch name can be missed.
