In summary

Littledale & Handsworth North is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,762 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #38 of 70 in Sheffield.

Typical homes here, about £155,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 32% in five years (from 114 sales), 29% below the wider Sheffield median of £217,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,911 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.
