Affordability-adjusted Score ?
- #4,139 best value of 6,851 priced areas in England
- Combines this area's Area Score with how affordable its homes are nationally (geometric mean). Higher = a less-deprived area for less money.
Recorded crime
No recorded-crime data: the police force covering Failsworth East has not published usable street-level data for this period, so no rate or comparison is shown (a zero here would be misleading, not reassuring).
