In summary

Prestbury & Adlington is one of the least-deprived 10% of neighbourhoods in England — #307 of 6,856 nationally, among the most-advantaged neighbourhoods on the index, and #8 of 52 in Cheshire East. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Income (99) but weak on Housing & access (26). Typical homes here sold for about £705,000 over the past year, down 2% across five years (from 99 sales) — roughly 2.4× the wider Cheshire East median of £298,000. It pairs low deprivation with well-above-average prices, so on our affordability-adjusted measure it lands at #6,095 of 6,851 — you pay for the postcode here. Typical household take-home income is around £50,297 a year, in the top third of England. Recorded crime ran at 36 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well below the England rate of 83.
