In summary

Idle is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,214 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #19 of 63 in Bradford. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (89) but weak on Crime (16). Typical homes here sold for about £205,000 over the past year, up 21% across five years (from 210 sales), 11% above the wider Bradford median of £185,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,659 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.
