In summary
Horwich East sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,254 of 6,856 in England, and #11 of 35 in Bolton.

Typical homes here, about £251,746 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 40% in five years (from 126 sales), 21% above the wider Bolton median of £207,500.

Affordability-adjusted Score ?
- #1,367 best value of 6,851 priced areas in England
- Combines this area's Area Score with how affordable its homes are nationally (geometric mean). Higher = a less-deprived area for less money.
Recorded crime
No recorded-crime data: the police force covering Horwich East has not published usable street-level data for this period, so no rate or comparison is shown (a zero here would be misleading, not reassuring).
