In summary
Biddulph Central is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,659 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #13 of 13 in Staffordshire Moorlands. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (93) but weak on Employment (24). Typical homes here sold for about £161,000 over the past year, up 19% across five years (from 107 sales), 29% below the wider Staffordshire Moorlands median of £227,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,788 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £32,686 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 81 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, close to the England rate of 83.
