In summary

Basford & Hartshill sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,535 of 6,856 in England, and #6 of 33 in Stoke-on-Trent. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (94) but weak on Living environment (11). Typical homes here sold for about £165,000 over the past year, up 22% across five years (from 126 sales), in line with the wider Stoke-on-Trent median of £160,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #570 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £37,008 a year, around the middle of England. Recorded crime ran at 97 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, above the England rate of 83.
