In summary

Malin Bridge & Wisewood is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #2,959 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #26 of 70 in Sheffield. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (98) but weak on Living environment (30). Typical homes here, about £220,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 34% in five years (from 114 sales), in line with the wider Sheffield median of £217,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #650 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £35,831 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 46 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well below the England rate of 83.
