In summary

Millom & Duddon Valley is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,721 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #17 of 33 in Cumberland.

Typical homes here sold for about £140,000 over the past year, up 12% across five years (from 136 sales), 20% below the wider Cumberland median of £175,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,736 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.
