In summary
Morley East sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,748 of 6,856 in England, and #56 of 107 in Leeds. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (94) but weak on Crime (20). Typical homes here sold for about £206,500 over the past year, up 18% across five years (from 134 sales), 16% below the wider Leeds median of £246,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,144 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £38,161 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 95 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, close to the England rate of 83.
