In summary

Askam & Dalton North sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,151 of 6,856 in England, and #17 of 31 in Westmorland and Furness.

Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #465 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.

Recorded crime ran at 45 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well below the England rate of 83.
