The Estate Rate is an unspoken but effective measure which can be used to gauge what neighbours actually think of each other.
Here is an example using refuse collection and popularity.
Popular:
Your neighbour notices you have put the wrong refuse bin out for collection so they break into your backyard and swap the bins over.
Unpopular:
Due to an early flight the refuse bin is left out the night before collection day. Returning a week later the empty refuse bin is still on the road outside the house.

Your nouveau-chav neighbour encourages their children to play road football in front of everyone's house but their own.
You can either suggest they record Jeremy Kyle (Jerry Springer) and take the kids to the park or use the more non-confrontational method of watching and participating in a neighbourhood Estate Rate which will not resolve the problem but does lead to a satisfying feeling of alliance.

"Rate the Stache 1-10"- A phrase said by a gay man to a straight man to inform them they'd like a facial, or multiple.

Get the Rate the Stache 1-10mug. It's not a bad thing that the vaccination rate is lower than what some entities would like, at least people that haven't gotten a vaccine know that there are plenty of other people that haven't been bought into a vaccine line, and have no intention of getting in line with the agenda of these entities, even if they are told that they are outnumbered by people who are or have been standing in a vaccine line.
At least not everybody would get a vaccine because their kids are offered a scholarship or they could win a few million dollars in a vaccine lottery, good for them. That way the vaccination rate stays lower than some entities would like, even if it's not really low enough.
