In summary

Pier Head is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #4,056 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #14 of 61 in Liverpool. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (82) but weak on Health (5). Typical homes here sold for about £162,500 over the past year, down 4% across five years (from 99 sales), 11% below the wider Liverpool median of £182,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,026 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £50,733 a year, in the top third of England. Recorded crime ran at 340 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.
