DE24 0BY is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Harlow Close, 0.8km from Allenton in Derby. Administratively it sits within Boulton ward and the Derby South constituency.
An affordable area with active regeneration, DE24 0BY is a striving suburban area — non-UK born households working to get ahead. By day, the area transitions to a non-metropolitan suburban areas character: white, female workforce with low qualifications, working locally.

Full-time employment stands at 21% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

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.
