Hole doesn't give up much at a glance — no high street of note in the records, no school roll, no station listed under its name. What's there is the wider Cornwall picture it sits inside, and that's worth being honest about rather than dressing up.
On price, Cornwall's median sits at £285,000, just above the national figure of £281,000 and a touch below the South West regional median of £305,000 — so this is a county holding roughly its own against the rest of the country, neither a bargain corner nor a premium one. Crime across Cornwall runs at 73.6 per 1,000, a baseline figure rather than a local one, so it tells you about the authority Hole belongs to rather than the lane or two that makes up the place itself.
Beyond that, the cupboard is fairly bare for Hole specifically. There's no data here on its schools, its transport links, its green space, or the shape of its housing stock, and rather than guess at a character it doesn't yet have evidence for, it's better to say so plainly. What can be said is that it belongs to a county that, on the broad national measures, looks unremarkable in the best sense — house prices near the middle of the pack, crime close to typical for the region — which at least means you're not walking into a place flagged as an outlier in either direction.
If you're weighing up Hole itself, the honest answer is that the numbers available describe Cornwall, not the locality, and a proper judgement on schools, commute, and street-level feel would need a closer look at the immediate postcode rather than the county average.
