In summary

Kimberworth is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,145 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #12 of 32 in Rotherham. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (81) but weak on Health (24). Typical homes here, about £176,499 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 41% in five years (from 93 sales), 7% below the wider Rotherham median of £190,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,254 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £34,265 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 71 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, close to the England rate of 83.
