How these scores are worked out

Each input is a percentile rank: the share of the other neighbourhoods this one is at least as good as (direction per input). A dimension is the percentile rank of the mean of its available input ranks and needs at least two inputs; the overall score is the mean of the scored dimensions. Points are placed by point-in-polygon against the Data for Action boundaries; per-head figures use Census 2021 residents for neighbourhoods with their own census areas; noise shares sample an even grid of points inside each polygon against the Defra Lden bands; distances are straight lines from the polygon centre. Hill Top covers 1.23 km² and borrows its census figures from the nearest census area, so per-head inputs are not ranked; noise was sampled at 83 points.

The ground beneath Hill Top

At the centre of Hill Top the bedrock is the Pennine Lower Coal Measures Formation: mudstone, siltstone, sandstone, coal, ironstone and ferricrete, Carboniferous, Langsettian (Westphalian A), about 316 to 314 million years ago, on the BGS 1:625 000 bedrock map (unit PSLCM). The 1:625 000 map is a regional overview generalised from more detailed sheets: it describes the ground under a neighbourhood as a whole and is not a site investigation.

Mining Remediation Authority

Coal mining legacy here

About 22.5% of Hill Top, roughly 27.5 hectares, lies in a coal mining Development High Risk Area: recorded shafts, adits or shallow workings are at or near the surface, so new building there needs a coal mining risk assessment.

Offences recorded by South Yorkshire Police in August 2026, counted into this neighbourhood. Locations published by the Home Office are approximate by design, so this is a count for the area, never for a street or an address.

Recorded crime from data.police.uk, published by the Home Office under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Figures are for whole calendar months and are published about two months in arrears, so they are never a picture of today. The published locations are anonymous map points chosen by the Home Office to stand for a stretch of street, not addresses, and this site keeps neighbourhood counts only: no point, street or record is stored. Recorded crime counts what was reported to and recorded by the police, which is not the same as what happened.
