In summary

Eastham is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #3,885 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #22 of 42 in Wirral. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (90) but weak on Health (20). Typical homes here sold for about £210,000 over the past year, up 22% across five years (from 138 sales), in line with the wider Wirral median of £220,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,333 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £34,941 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 46 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well below the England rate of 83.
