CW9 7BE is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.6km from Wadebrook in Northwich. Administratively it sits within Northwich Witton ward and the Weaver Vale constituency.
An affordable area with active regeneration, CW9 7BE is a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. By day, the area transitions to a traditional countryside character: mainly white older workforce, self-employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing, with some construction. An average age of 45 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 32% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.
Safety: Crime rates are low here at 36 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. 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 CW9 7BE are sourced from Output Area E00094479 (shared with 5 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
