In summary

Preston Billy Mill sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,700 of 6,856 in England, and #18 of 30 in North Tyneside.

Typical homes here, about £225,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 41% in five years (from 79 sales), in line with the wider North Tyneside median of £217,310. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,345 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.

Recorded crime ran at 73 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, close to the England rate of 83.
