In summary

Parkside sits close to the national midpoint for deprivation, #3,583 of 6,856 in England, and #23 of 31 in Westmorland and Furness. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (94) but weak on Living environment (4). Typical homes here sold for about £162,500 over the past year, up 18% across five years (from 112 sales), 31% below the wider Westmorland and Furness median of £235,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #597 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £34,052 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 80 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, close to the England rate of 83.

Recorded incidents, not convictions. Crimes are counted where they happen while residents are counted where they live, so busy town-centre, retail and nightlife areas show high per-resident rates because visitors bring incidents with them.
