Bolitho doesn't offer up much to a passer-by — no dataset of note, no headline figures for schools, crime, transport or property that would let anyone paint the streets with confidence. What can be said sits at the level of Cornwall itself: the wider county carries a median house price around £285,000 and a crime rate of roughly 74 per 1,000 people, both useful as a backdrop but not as a description of Bolitho specifically. Anyone weighing up whether to live here would need to see the place in person, because the numbers that usually tell the story — the school gradings, the commute options, the character of the housing stock — simply aren't there to read.
