Deprivation isn’t only a rural or coastal issue. Some larger cities - Manchester, Birmingham & London - see high levels of deprivation too - driven by high housing costs and high levels of insecure work and low pay.
Wherever you live should not affect your chances in life -but this is not the case.

Weak labour markets and low wages drive high deprivation in these areas.
While housing costs tend to be lower, the quality of housing can be much poorer.
🏠For example, 1 in 4 (25%) homes in Blackpool and 1 in 5 (21%) homes in Hastings are of poor quality.
