Hackness doesn't really have a high street to read, and that's the first thing to understand about it — this is a hamlet in the South West, the kind of place you drive through rather than to, unless you already have a reason to be there.
Beyond that, there isn't much I can tell you with any confidence. No school, station, or green space is recorded for Hackness itself, and none of the local crime, house price, or population figures came through either — so rather than borrow numbers from Somerset or the national picture and pretend they describe this specific hamlet, it's more honest to say plainly that the data simply doesn't exist at this level of detail. What we do know is the frame it sits in: Somerset's typical house price runs a little above the national median, and its crime rate per head is a useful yardstick for the wider area, but neither tells you what a lane in Hackness actually feels like on a wet Tuesday.
If you're weighing up a move here, the honest answer is that you'll need to look at Hackness with your own eyes, or at the parish and ward level, rather than rely on aggregated figures — a hamlet this small often falls beneath the resolution of national datasets, which is itself a kind of information: it tells you this is a quiet, thinly populated corner rather than a place with its own shops, schools, or rail link to speak of.
