In summary

Sutton St Mary's & Ashfields sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,357 of 6,856 in England, and #5 of 16 in Ashfield.

Typical homes here, about £200,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 27% in five years (from 146 sales), in line with the wider Ashfield median of £195,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #750 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.
