In summary
Chorley North is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,221 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #10 of 14 in Chorley. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (94) but weak on Health (25). Typical homes here sold for about £163,000 over the past year, broadly flat over five years (+8%) (from 91 sales), 26% below the wider Chorley median of £220,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,207 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £33,151 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 101 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, above the England rate of 83.
