Vibrancy is the plain count of places to eat, drink and go out — restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways, nightclubs and cinemas in and around the town. Per head is the different question of whether a town is well served for its size.

Not ranked: under 2,000 residents, one pub swings the per-head figure too far to mean anything.
