How Walkley scores
Overall 48 out of 100, ranked 84 of 147 neighbourhoods, from 6 of 7 dimensions. Each score is a percentile rank against the other neighbourhoods, not a measurement.

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. Walkley covers 0.93 km² with 6,037 residents (Census 2021); noise was sampled at 64 points.

At the centre of Walkley 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).

Council tax bands here
The 4 small areas (LSOAs) whose population centres fall in this neighbourhood hold about 3,100 homes on the council tax list; 67% are in Band A, against 58% across Sheffield. The average full bill across these homes before discounts is about £1,838 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.
