In summary

Skipton South is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #4,056 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #63 of 77 in North Yorkshire. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (88) but weak on Living environment (18). Typical homes here sold for about £189,975 over the past year, up 22% across five years (from 156 sales), 30% below the wider North Yorkshire median of £270,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,277 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £36,543 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 75 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, close to the England rate of 83.

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.
