Questions people ask
Is East Devon safe?
Police recorded about 42.4 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, lower than South West as a whole (70.3). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.
How much do homes cost in East Devon?
Homes sold for a typical £3,730 per m² in the year to August 2026, about the same as South West as a whole (£3,590 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £260,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.
How many schools are there in East Devon?
There are 55 state primary and 8 state secondary schools inside East Devon's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
Is East Devon a deprived area?
1% of East Devon's 88 neighbourhoods are among the most deprived fifth in England, and 18% among the least deprived fifth, on the official Index of Multiple Deprivation. It combines income, jobs, health, education, crime, housing and living environment.
