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. Wadsley Bridge covers 1.31 km² with 2,836 residents (Census 2021); noise was sampled at 49 points.

Coal mining legacy here

About 2.7% of Wadsley Bridge, roughly 3.5 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.

Council tax bands here

The 2 small areas (LSOAs) whose population centres fall in this neighbourhood hold about 1,440 homes on the council tax list; 85% are in Band A, against 58% across Sheffield. The average full bill across these homes before discounts is about £1,726 a year in 2026-27, worked out from the Band D figure. A few very small counts are withheld by the VOA, so the bands add up to slightly fewer homes than the total.

How this neighbourhood compares

Each measure is compared across the 126 Sheffield neighbourhoods that have their own census area; r is the correlation from -1 to 1. A pattern across neighbourhoods is not a cause, and it says nothing about any one street or household.

Full-time students and private renting

Wadsley Bridge ranks 119th of 126 for full-time students (4.1%) and 45th of 126 for private renting (18.3%). Across 126 neighbourhoods there is a strong link between full-time students and private renting (r = 0.85): the two rise together. Student areas are let by the room and by the year, so a high student share usually means a high private-renting share.

Aged 65 and over and one-person households

Wadsley Bridge ranks 59th of 126 for aged 65 and over (17.8%) and 20th of 126 for one-person households (40%). Across 126 neighbourhoods there is a moderate link between aged 65 and over and one-person households (r = -0.52): the two move in opposite directions. Older residents are more likely to live alone, so the two shares tend to rise together; student areas are the usual exception.

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.

Problems people reported here

3 problems reported to the council through FixMyStreet in the last 60 days. Each one is somebody's report, not a verified fact.

See them on the map

Street problem reports from FixMyStreet, built by the charity mySociety and sent to Sheffield City Council. Each entry is one person's report, not a verified fact: it may be wrong, already fixed or a duplicate, and the status shown is the status FixMyStreet holds. The report text, photographs and reporter names stay on FixMyStreet; only the category, status, date and location are held here. FixMyStreet publishes no open licence for report content, and its feeds are used with credit and a link back.
