In summary
Lordswood is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #3,055 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #14 of 38 in Medway. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Living environment (95) but weak on Housing & access (26). Typical homes here, about £300,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 25% in five years (from 99 sales), in line with the wider Medway median of £310,000. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,978 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.
