SN1 vs SN2

Overall measures differ. Gaps below are by category, not a ranking of the places.

This reflects published infrastructure and environmental data. It does not measure the people who live here, house prices as a marker of status, or safety.

Not counted for this area

Amenities, Green space, Council tax. We could not obtain published figures here, so these categories were left out and the remaining weights scaled up to fill the gap. A missing dataset never counts against an area.
