Questions people ask
Is Warrington safe?
Police recorded about 67.9 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, lower than North West as a whole (80.1). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.
How much do homes cost in Warrington?
Homes sold for a typical £3,130 per m² in the year to August 2026, higher than North West as a whole (£2,650 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £220,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.
How many schools are there in Warrington?
There are 69 state primary and 13 state secondary schools inside Warrington's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
Is Warrington a deprived area?
16% of Warrington's 132 neighbourhoods are among the most deprived fifth in England, and 42% among the least deprived fifth, on the official Index of Multiple Deprivation. It combines income, jobs, health, education, crime, housing and living environment.
