In summary

Worksop Town & South is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,516 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #12 of 14 in Bassetlaw.

Typical homes here sold for about £167,500 over the past year, up 12% across five years (from 95 sales), 19% below the wider Bassetlaw median of £208,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,633 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.
