In summary

Barnoldswick South is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,337 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #5 of 12 in Pendle.

Typical homes here sold for about £147,950 over the past year, up 15% across five years (from 101 sales), in line with the wider Pendle median of £147,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,251 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.

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.
