In summary

Devonshire Quarter is in the more-deprived bottom third of England, ranked #4,824 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #40 of 70 in Sheffield. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Employment (65) but weak on Crime (6). Typical homes here sold for about £115,000 over the past year, down 3% across five years (from 35 sales), 47% below the wider Sheffield median of £217,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,783 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.

Recorded crime ran at 361 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.
