In summary

Bredbury sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,528 of 6,856 in England, and #26 of 42 in Stockport. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (97) but weak on Living environment (32). Typical homes here, about £246,250 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 37% in five years (from 144 sales), 21% below the wider Stockport median of £310,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,517 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £36,218 a year, in the bottom third of England.
