Ayr doesn't give up much about itself, at least not in the numbers passed to me. There's a name, a place on the map in the South West, and a parent authority — Cornwall — but the local detail that usually fills out a picture of a place, the population, the house prices, the schools, the crime figures, simply isn't there.
What I can say with any honesty is where Cornwall itself tends to sit against the rest of the country. Its typical house price runs a little above the England-wide median, and its crime rate is a benchmark figure rather than a lived one — useful as a backdrop, but not something I can pin to Ayr specifically without the local figures to back it up.
Given how thin the picture is, I'd rather leave it here than fill the gaps with guesswork. If you're weighing up Ayr, it's worth chasing the specifics — the sale prices on the actual streets, the nearest schools, the way people spend their weekends — because none of that has come through in what's been shared, and it's exactly what would tell you whether you'd regret moving there.
