In summary

Kirkby North West is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #3,940 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #6 of 20 in Knowsley. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Living environment (84) but weak on Health (21). Typical homes here, about £187,500 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 42% in five years (from 137 sales), in line with the wider Knowsley median of £195,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,127 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £33,655 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 42 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well below the England rate of 83.
