Is Llanerchymedd a good place to live?
Where it does best is cost of living — a typical home costs £170,975 and rent runs £714 a month. It is a safe place by the numbers: police record 21.9 violent and sexual offences per 1,000 residents a year, and 3.5 home and vehicle crimes. Jobs and pay trail most towns: the mean household earns £43,135 a year. Walkability is weaker too — 6% of commuters walk, cycle or take public transport.
Figures: prices, HM Land Registry, the last three years · crime, police.uk, averaged Sep 2023 to Aug 2026 · income, ONS · claimants, DWP · commuting, Census 2021. With fewer than 2,500 residents, Llanerchymedd has subject grades but no overall one.
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.
