Hollow Street doesn't give you much to go on, and that itself tells you something: this is a hamlet in the loosest sense, small enough that it hasn't generated the kind of granular local statistics that towns and suburbs accumulate. There's no data here on its streets, its schools, its crime figures, or its housing stock specifically — which means anyone promising you a detailed read of the place is making it up.
What we do have is where it sits: within the Canterbury district, in the South East region, where the regional median house price runs to £367,500 against a national figure of £335,000. That's the broader canvas Hollow Street is painted on — a part of the country that costs more than average to live in, with the South East's usual premium over England as a whole. Whether Hollow Street itself trades above or below that district figure isn't something the numbers can tell you.
Given the gap in the record, the honest answer is that this piece can't tell you about the school run, the commute, the parks, or the local crime pattern in Hollow Street itself — those simply aren't in front of me. What I'd suggest is treating it as a place to visit rather than research from a screen: a hamlet this size is usually understood by walking it, not by reading about it. If you're weighing it up, the Canterbury district figures are a reasonable starting point for cost of living, but the character of Hollow Street — the thing you're really asking about — will only show itself in person.
