In summary

Winsford North is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #2,884 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #27 of 47 in Cheshire West and Chester. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Living environment (97) but weak on Education (41). Typical homes here, about £245,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 34% in five years (from 120 sales), 6% below the wider Cheshire West and Chester median of £260,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #937 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £37,460 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 42 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well below the England rate of 83.
