In summary

Westoe is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #4,077 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #5 of 23 in South Tyneside. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (98) but weak on Living environment (10). Typical homes here sold for about £145,000 over the past year, broadly flat over five years (+7%) (from 88 sales), 14% below the wider South Tyneside median of £168,500. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #941 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £34,584 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 49 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well below the England rate of 83.
