The 9 most prosperous neighbourhoods in the North West, based on income

The English Indices of Deprivation 2025 has been published, ranking nearly 34,000 small areas across England based on a number of factors, including employment, health and education.

We’ve looked at the rankings for income, which takes into account the number of people, both in and out of work, who are on benefits, and the number of children and older residents living in ‘income-deprived households’.

The North West is home to some of England’s most deprived neighbourhoods, according to the findings, with seven areas of Blackpool ranking among the 10 most deprived nationally, and Manchester having one of the highest proportions of deprived neighbourhoods.

Parts of Liverpool and Stockport also feature in the list of England’s 50 most deprived neighbourhoods.

But at the other end of the scale, some areas of the North West are among the least deprived in England based on income.

Below are the nine most prosperous neighbourhoods in the North West, based on the rankings for income deprivation in the English Indices of Deprivation 2025.

They are Lower-layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs), which typically have a population of around 1,500.
