affluence_score_100 summary_for_ai integer

Composite socio-economic index evaluating neighbourhood economic strength across four weighted dimensions: 35% modelled income, 25% human capital (degree qualifications and managerial occupation shares), 25% statutory IMD deprivation freedom, and 15% housing equity (homeownership share). Calibrated against ONS regional gross disposable household income (GDHI). Limitations: Measured at small-area neighbourhood level (LSOA in England/Wales, Data Zone in Scotland); individual household affluence within an area will vary. Note: Because statutory IMD deciles are relative within home nations, cross-border comparisons should rely on underlying non-composite census indicators (qualifications, managerial percentages) and property metrics.
