' Clubs in top 20 most deprived neighbourhoods '

Deprivation figures


Friday 27th September 2019


The KCOM Stadium is located in one of English football’s most deprived areas.


Government deprivation figures released today have revealed that the KCOM Stadium is located in England’s 436th most deprived neighbourhood out of a total of 32,844.

In football terms, however, only five other clubs in the top four divisions of English football are located in more deprived areas.

Blackpool are located in English football’s most deprived neighbourhood, which is ranked 12th in the country overall.

Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium comes next and is in England’s 244th most deprived area.

Manchester City, world football’s fifth richest club according to the Deloitte Football Money League, come next.

The Etihad Stadium is in England’s 262nd most deprived area.

It shows how the wealth of football clubs is often in stark contrast to that of the areas and communities they represent.


Bradford City are in the next most deprived neighbourhood after Manchester City (384th nationally) followed by Everton (425th), Hull City (436th) and Burnley (500th).

Rotherham (686th nationally), Morecambe (783rd) and Aston Villa (827th) complete the top 10.

AFC Bournemouth sit at the other end of the scale.
The Cherries are in one of the country’s least deprived neighbourhoods and the least deprived of any Premier or Football League side.

The Bournemouth 011B neighbourhood is ranked 31,921st out of 32,844.


Shrewsbury come next (28,849th out of 32,844) followed by Wycombe (27,750th), Bristol Rovers (26,251st) and Forest Green (25,051st).

That seems strange as Liverpool and Everton are either side of Stanley Park.

Nowhere in Blackpool is that bad is it? Just run down bed sits isn’t it? It’s hardly broadwater farm estate which I’m surprised isn’t higher up.....

Depends what they mean by deprived, if it's large sprawling estates probably a lot of these clubs would be on the list. If it is shiteholes Cardiff, Millwall and West Ham would be on there.

That seems strange as Liverpool and Everton are either side of Stanley Park.

I think Goodison Park is actually in Walton, the actual Borough of Everton is the deprived area they are referring to, not Everton F. C. Hope that helps, Terry

Surely Swansea should be topping the list

Swansea must be 21.
