For me: "In the latest Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) this area was ranked 24,922 out of 32,482 in England, where 1 was the most deprived and 32,482 the least.
This is broken down further by income; employment; education, skills; health; barriers to housing and services; the living environment; and crime (England)."

"THE worst street in Glasgow:
Called Ground Zero by residents, Allison Street, Govanhill, is one of the most deprived in the city."
Title of that bit was "Allison street, habitable?" Lmfao
Contrast this to 22,344 where I used to live in Earl Shilton, Leicestershire.
This doesn't surprise me. Wakefield is by and large is a ****hole, hence the reason I'm moving.
Lol
I did look no there is not but if there was I can 100% say my place would be the worse according to them. That said, I love it here. It's lovely. So knickers to them. It meant I could buy out right without a mortgage.
Good for you.
Lol I like it where I live too, it is rough but it probably does look worse than what it is from the outside looking in. Knickers to them! :cool:
See maybe I'm odd. I don't see where I live as rough. At all! Lol I see it as a lovely place. I've never felt unsafe here...
The area I live in is lovely, can't moan. We were so lucky to get rented accommodation here as its so saught after and its next to the M1. Bonus
Lived here just over 21 years and (afaik) never been any properties broken into and it's that quiet you can hear a pin drop.....even in the middle of the day which suits me fine!
Where my son lives, his area is ranked at 31,240 but it's way too busy for my liking. It's a battle just to get a damn parking space!
Do you have a local shop? For local people? Will you have no trouble there?
Hate the fact I will never get my own house or car or a better job because Im genuinely not good at anything to warrent being paid a better lifestyle. My life is over already.
Pity you can't put numbers in as well as postcodes.
I don't feel unsafe neither, I think you get used to it tbh.
Despite its rather nice name, Golf Green is essentially Jaywick, the village exposed on Channel 5's programme "Benefits By The Sea".
To be fair, apart from its location by the sea, it did look an absolute dump, and in the words of the programme's narrator, "the nearest the UK has to a shanty town".
Surely this place should be bulldozed and replaced with new homes that meet today's standards. I feel so sorry for those who have to live in them chalets.
I'd beware of taking the data too seriously though. It's not necessarily as meaningful as is being made out.
The area I used to live in is:
a huge difference... and that's only about half a mile away. For intents and purposes, income, health, access to services, education, crime etc are realistically going to be very similar.
Yes the place should have been flattened years ago as most of the property was originally just short term builds. Pretty disgusting that such places exist in UK 2015.
Of course if they bulldozed it, all the residents would be packed off to other deprived areas and the seafront would be developed with million pound apartments. >:(
