The figures
Figures are shown against their own scale, or against the England figure beside them. These are a reading aid, not a rating — StreetOwl does not score places.

| Planning designations | none at the centre | — | the centre postcode planning.data.gov.uk checked against the national registers; a designation can still cover part of the wider area. |
| Recorded crimes, whole borough | 22,723 | — | Stockport as a whole, the year to March 2026 Home Office recorded crime, CSP level the local force does not publish street-level crime to police.uk, so this is the borough's own total for a whole financial year. It covers a much bigger area than this page and cannot be read as a figure for here. |
| Rivers and sea flood risk | not in an at-risk band | — | the centre postcode Environment Agency NaFRA2 England only, indicative, by 50 m cell, rivers and sea only. It says nothing about surface water. |
| GP practices used by this neighbourhood | 31 | — | this neighbourhood (LSOA, about 1,500 people) NHS England, patients registered at a GP practice Most use Caritas General Practice Partnership (62%). Where neighbours are registered — not a catchment, and not a guarantee of a place. |
| Miles to the nearest acute hospital | 0.9 | — | straight-line distance from the centre NHS England, with NHS ODS site locations Alexandra Hospital, run by East Cheshire NHS Trust. Straight-line, not a journey time, and the nearest site is not always the one you would be taken to. |
| Major infrastructure projects nearby | 1 | — | centred within 9 miles of the centre Planning Inspectorate NSIP register Airports, power stations, reservoirs, major roads and the like. Each project is recorded at a single point, so one counted here may be centred some way off. |
| Planning applications nearby | 12 | — | within 600 m of the centre Council planning registers via PlanIt recently listed on the council's own register. A count of applications, not of approvals. |
| Renewable energy schemes nearby | 17 | — | within 1.9 miles of the centre DESNZ Renewable Energy Planning Database 0.3 MW of it already operating. Wind, solar, hydro and battery schemes of roughly 150 kW and above. Counts schemes refused or withdrawn too, so it is what has been proposed here, not what is running. |
| Schools within 3 miles | 95 | — | within 3 miles of the centre DfE Get Information About Schools 82 primary, 13 secondary. Open schools only. DfE no longer publishes an Ofsted grade in this register, so each school listed below links to its own Ofsted report. |

Who lives here
From the 2021 census, for this MSOA — about 7,200 residents, which is wider than a street and narrower than a town. These are the area’s own proportions beside England’s. StreetOwl does not rank or score them.
