In summary

Hesketh Park is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,248 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #23 of 38 in Sefton. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (78) but weak on Health (12). Typical homes here sold for about £167,500 over the past year, up 9% across five years (from 114 sales), 27% below the wider Sefton median of £230,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,276 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £29,736 a year, among England's lowest. Recorded crime ran at 54 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, below the England rate of 83.
