House prices from HM Land Registry Price Paid, median of sales August 2025 to July 2026; crime from police.uk street-level records, August 2025 to July 2026; rent from the ONS Price Index of Private Rents, August 2026; heritage, green space and places to eat from Historic England, OS Open Greenspace and the Food Standards Agency, built September 2026. Train times, broadband and life satisfaction are reviewed periodically rather than monthly: train times are typical off-peak direct services, broadband from Ofcom Connected Nations and life satisfaction from the ONS Personal Well-being survey. Figures are approximate estimates for comparison.
