In summary

Hebden Bridge sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,480 of 6,856 in England, and #8 of 27 in Calderdale. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Education (93) but weak on Living environment (2). Typical homes here, about £265,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 26% in five years (from 169 sales), 37% above the wider Calderdale median of £193,250. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,746 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £40,071 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 66 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, below the England rate of 83.
