The closest matches to Wokingham's overall signal profile — deprivation, council tax, air quality, broadband and green-space access, each ranked against England. Every match opens its own neighbourhood-fabric map.
Neighbourhood fabric is Truely's map of how Wokingham varies block by block. Rather than a single borough-wide average, every covered postcode in Wokingham is placed on a common scale across council tax, deprivation, crime density, school distance, broadband availability and green-space access, then grouped into character clusters and plotted. All figures come from official UK government data under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — MHCLG, Ofsted, police.uk, Environment Agency, DEFRA, Ofcom and Ordnance Survey — with no estimates dressed as fact and no opaque scoring.
