Is Crundale a good place to live?
Crundale has fewer than 2,500 residents, so it gets subject grades but no overall grade. Its strongest subject is safety (A): 13.4 violent and sexual offences and 3.2 home and vehicle crimes per 1,000 residents a year, averaged Sep 2023 to Aug 2026. Its weakest is walkability (D−): 4% of commuters walk, cycle or take public transport. The median home sold for £240,000 in the last three years, 5.7 times what households in the Pembrokeshire council area earn in a year.
Dyfed Powys Police published 32 of the 36 months; rates are per year over the months published. 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.
