In summary

Earby & Salterforth is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #3,809 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #3 of 12 in Pendle. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Crime (73) but weak on Living environment (9). Typical homes here, about £170,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 35% in five years (from 109 sales), 16% above the wider Pendle median of £147,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #853 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.

Recorded crime ran at 41 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well below the England rate of 83.
