Quality measures

15% of the score

80 out of 100

Built from four clinical measures in the government's Star Ratings data. Each is scored against the full range of homes, from best to worst, rather than against the average, so a home can score fairly well here while some of its measures are worse than average.

No data

No published data, so this part's 10% moves to the other parts.

Weighs the other four parts against the home's typical room deposit, so a strong home at a modest price scores higher. See room prices.
