In summary

Cathedral & Kelham sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,234 of 6,856 in England, and #28 of 70 in Sheffield. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Employment (98) but weak on Living environment (15). Typical homes here, about £140,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 65% in five years (from 97 sales), 35% below the wider Sheffield median of £217,000. Put together — a relatively un-deprived area with homes that are cheap by national standards — it ranks among England's best value, #270 of 6,851 priced neighbourhoods.

Recorded crime ran at 298 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well above the England rate of 83.

Recorded incidents, not convictions. 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.
