In summary

Claughton North is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,282 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #23 of 42 in Wirral. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (99) but weak on Health (18). Typical homes here sold for about £184,500 over the past year, down 4% across five years (from 130 sales), 16% below the wider Wirral median of £220,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,497 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £36,149 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 58 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, below the England rate of 83.
