In summary
Atherton South West is close to the England average for deprivation, ranked #3,782 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #17 of 40 in Wigan. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (83) but weak on Crime (24). Typical homes here, about £170,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 36% in five years (from 138 sales), 14% below the wider Wigan median of £198,750. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #813 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure.
