How Midhopestones scores
Overall 25 out of 100, ranked 144 of 147 neighbourhoods, from 4 of 7 dimensions. Each score is a percentile rank against the other neighbourhoods, not a measurement.

How these scores are worked out
Each input is a percentile rank: the share of the other neighbourhoods this one is at least as good as (direction per input). A dimension is the percentile rank of the mean of its available input ranks and needs at least two inputs; the overall score is the mean of the scored dimensions. Points are placed by point-in-polygon against the Data for Action boundaries; per-head figures use Census 2021 residents for neighbourhoods with their own census areas; noise shares sample an even grid of points inside each polygon against the Defra Lden bands; distances are straight lines from the polygon centre. Midhopestones covers 2.35 km² and borrows its census figures from the nearest census area, so per-head inputs are not ranked; noise was sampled at 89 points.

How this neighbourhood compares
Midhopestones is smaller than a census area, so it borrows a neighbour’s figures and is left out of the comparisons rather than counted twice.
