In summary

Retford North sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,384 of 6,856 in England, and #4 of 14 in Bassetlaw. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Living environment (96) but weak on Education (25). Typical homes here sold for about £200,000 over the past year, up 18% across five years (from 115 sales), in line with the wider Bassetlaw median of £208,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #772 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.
