How this neighbourhood compares

Each measure is compared across the 126 Sheffield neighbourhoods that have their own census area; r is the correlation from -1 to 1. A pattern across neighbourhoods is not a cause, and it says nothing about any one street or household.

Full-time students and private renting

Highfield ranks 6th of 126 for full-time students (61.8%) and 10th of 126 for private renting (54%). Across 126 neighbourhoods there is a strong link between full-time students and private renting (r = 0.85): the two rise together. Student areas are let by the room and by the year, so a high student share usually means a high private-renting share.

Median sold price and detached homes

Highfield ranks 79th of 120 for median sold price (£170k) and 93rd of 120 for detached homes (4.2%). Across 120 neighbourhoods there is a moderate link between median sold price and detached homes (r = 0.69): the two rise together. Home type drives price: a neighbourhood of detached houses sells for more than one of terraces and flats, whatever else is true of it.
