In summary

Fordley is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,755 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #23 of 30 in North Tyneside. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (76) but weak on Health (18). Typical homes here, about £155,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 37% in five years (from 69 sales), 29% below the wider North Tyneside median of £217,310. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,899 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £32,146 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 55 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, below the England rate of 83.
