Grylls doesn't offer up much in the way of hard detail, which is itself worth knowing before anything else — most of the usual markers that let you size up a place against its neighbours simply aren't logged here. What is on record is Cornwall as the wider authority it sits within, and against that backdrop the county's own numbers give some texture: a median house price a touch above the national figure, and a crime rate that sits at the Cornwall-wide average of around 73.6 per 1,000. That's the frame, but it belongs to Cornwall as a whole rather than to Grylls specifically.
Without figures on population, schools, transport links, green space or the local property mix, it wouldn't be honest to sketch the daily rhythm of the place, the school run, or what a for-sale board on a Grylls street would actually tell you. Those are exactly the things that make a locality feel liveable or not, and guessing at them would do you a disservice.
What this means practically: if you're weighing up Grylls, you'll want to look at it in person, or seek out the specific postcode data that would let a fuller picture emerge — nearest stations, named schools, the local crime breakdown. On what's here, the only fair comparison is the Cornwall-wide one above, and that alone isn't enough to tell you whether you'd regret moving there.
