In summary
Leeds City Centre is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #4,001 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #58 of 107 in Leeds. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Employment (99) but weak on Living environment (4). Typical homes here sold for about £187,500 over the past year, broadly flat over five years (+1%) (from 105 sales), 24% below the wider Leeds median of £246,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,188 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £60,407 a year, among England's highest. Recorded crime ran at 1022 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well above the England rate of 83.
