In summary

Longbenton is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,673 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #21 of 30 in North Tyneside. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (99) but weak on Health (12). Typical homes here sold for about £183,750 over the past year, up 22% across five years (from 124 sales), 15% below the wider North Tyneside median of £217,310. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #2,055 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.
