Is Trevor a good place to live?
Trevor has fewer than 2,500 residents, so it gets subject grades but no overall grade. Its weakest is walkability (D−): 6% of commuters walk, cycle or take public transport. The median home sold for £226,500 in the last three years, 5.2 times what households in the Wrexham council area earn in a year.
This town's Health Grade uses ONS's small-area life expectancy and healthy life expectancy for 2019 to 2023, and two Census 2021 measures, bad health and disability, adjusted for age. English towns' grades also use OHID's small-area early deaths, hospital admissions and child obesity, which OHID publishes for England only.
