In summary

Littleover East sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,515 of 6,856 in England, and #12 of 31 in Derby. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (86) but weak on Health (28). Typical homes here, about £267,750 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 28% in five years (from 92 sales), 22% above the wider Derby median of £220,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,828 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £38,876 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 206 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well above the England rate of 83.

Recorded incidents, not convictions. Crimes are counted where they happen while residents are counted where they live, so busy town-centre, retail and nightlife areas show high per-resident rates because visitors bring incidents with them.
