B14 4BE is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.8km from Highter's Heath in Birmingham. Administratively it sits within Highter's Heath ward and the Birmingham, Selly Oak constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, B14 4BE is a striving suburban area — non-UK born households working to get ahead. By day, the area transitions to a professional home-workers in outer suburbs character: ethnically mixed self-employed professional services, home workers in outer suburbs. An average age of 42 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 35% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 53 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.

Census 2021 statistics for B14 4BE are sourced from Output Area E00045333 (shared with 8 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
