Combe Almer doesn't offer much to go on, and the honest thing to do is say so rather than dress up a postcode with borrowed detail. There's no local crime, schools, transport, or property data returned for this specific hamlet, which itself tells you something: this is a small, quiet corner of Dorset that doesn't generate much of a footprint in the numbers.
What we can say is where it sits in the wider county. Dorset's typical house price runs to £335,000, itself a shade below the South West regional median of £305,000 relative to national figures, and Dorset's crime rate benchmark sits at 54.84 per 1,000 — useful context if you're comparing Combe Almer against nearby towns, though it can't tell you what life on this particular lane actually feels like. Hamlets like this typically mean a handful of houses, a working farm or two, and a character shaped more by the surrounding countryside than by any high street, since there generally isn't one.
If you're drawn to Combe Almer, it's worth treating it as a blank page rather than a known quantity: visit, talk to whoever you can find, check school catchments and rail links directly for the exact address you have in mind, and use Dorset's county-level figures only as rough scaffolding, not as a description of the place itself. Small places like this reward that kind of legwork precisely because so little of it has been done for you.
