Cale Green
Cale Green, in Stockport. What stands out most here is deprivation decile: at 3 it is in the third most deprived tenth of England, measured across this neighbourhood (LSOA, about 1,500 people).
Planning designations: Conservation area — the centre postcode. These cover the centre point, not necessarily the whole area.
Recorded crimes: 1 — within about a mile of the centre. Street-level offences reported in August 2026. A count, not a rate — the police publish no population for this area, so it cannot be compared with a bigger or smaller place.
Rivers and sea flood risk: not in an at-risk band — the centre postcode. England only, indicative, by 50 m cell, rivers and sea only. It says nothing about surface water.
GP practices used by this neighbourhood: 32 — this neighbourhood (LSOA, about 1,500 people). Most use Bracondale Medical Centre (36%). Where neighbours are registered — not a catchment, and not a guarantee of a place.
We could not show these: census, prices. They either did not answer or are not published for this area — a gap in our data, not a finding about this place.
