Questions people ask
Is Chesterfield safe?
Police recorded about 102 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, higher than East Midlands as a whole (77.8). 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 Chesterfield?
Homes sold for a typical £2,530 per m² in the year to August 2026, lower than East Midlands as a whole (£2,830 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £175,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.
How many schools are there in Chesterfield?
There are 36 state primary and 8 state secondary schools inside Chesterfield's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
Is Chesterfield a deprived area?
25% of Chesterfield's 69 neighbourhoods are among the most deprived fifth in England, and 16% among the least deprived fifth, on the official Index of Multiple Deprivation. It combines income, jobs, health, education, crime, housing and living environment.
