In summary

Chadderton South West is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,611 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #13 of 34 in Oldham. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (80) but weak on Health (24). Typical homes here, about £185,750 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 27% in five years (from 112 sales), 13% below the wider Oldham median of £212,500. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,994 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £32,926 a year, in the bottom third of England.
