We’ve compiled a list of the neighbourhoods in Wakefield which were named the most income-deprived, based on the latest statistics published by the Office for National Statistics.
These are the areas which could be far less able to afford the rocketing cost of food and bills due to their income deprivation.
Of the 209 neighbourhoods within the district, 59 were among the 20 per cent most income deprived in England.
This means that of the 316 local authorities in England (excluding the Isles of Scilly), Wakefield is ranked 78th most income-deprived.
