In summary

Barnoldswick North is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,255 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #4 of 12 in Pendle. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Crime (67) but weak on Living environment (10). Typical homes here sold for about £152,250 over the past year, up 20% across five years (from 97 sales), in line with the wider Pendle median of £147,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,166 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £35,195 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 31 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well below the England rate of 83.
