In summary
Abington is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #3,864 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #37 of 53 in West Northamptonshire. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (88) but weak on Living environment (5). Typical homes here sold for about £235,000 over the past year, up 8% across five years (from 95 sales), 21% below the wider West Northamptonshire median of £299,203. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,680 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £36,271 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 83 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, close to the England rate of 83.
