To what extent your ward/SOA resembles a 'sustainable community'

My SOA (NN8 2JT) resembles a 'sustainable community' to an extent. The population of my neighbourhood is 1,525, 733 of which are males and 792 are females. Despite the fact the area is not a sustainable neighbourhood according to statistic summary shown on SOA. In all of the following, all of which is most;Income deprivation, Health, Educations, Employment and Crime.

There are least barriers to housing deprivation in and living environment deprivation. My neighbourhood is sustainable in its own right because there are parks and playing field for children, nurseries, primary school and secondary school and a college. There are also 2 churches in the area and frequent buses through out the area. You can also find a bakery and shops in the area. My neighbourhood is ten minutes walk away form the bus station. All these in my opinion sustainable, considering third world countries.
