A town of contrasts. Health outcomes fall short of most towns: life expectancy is 77 for men and 80 for women. At a median £270,000, a home costs 5.5 times the yearly income of households in the Nuneaton and Bedworth council area. Its best grade is for hazard risk (A). Overall, that makes a C, better than just over a third of UK towns. The ranking puts it #24 of 34 in Warwickshire. Its other grades sit near the middle: B− for safety and B− for schools.
