This document analyzes data from coastal towns in the UK across economic, social, and environmental indicators to develop "typologies of place". It groups the towns into categories such as "Premier League", "Championship", and "Constrained by Circumstances" based on their scores. For example, towns in the "Premier League" category have higher than average earnings and incomes, while towns categorized as "Constrained by Circumstances" tend to have lower than average scores across economic indicators. The document compares towns' performance on economic versus social metrics to understand how typologies based on each dimension compare.
