B6 4HT is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on New Town Row, 0.1km from New Town, Aston in Birmingham. Administratively it sits within Aston ward and the Birmingham, Ladywood constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, B6 4HT is a busy family neighbourhood — lots of children, diverse backgrounds. By day, the area transitions to a teachers and carers in metro suburbs character: ethnically mixed workforce primarily in care and education. An average age of 36 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 63% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. The area has a notably diverse population — 100% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Birmingham. Full-time employment stands at 17% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 69 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.
