HD7 4BT is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Longfield Avenue, 0.2km from Leymoor in Huddersfield. Administratively it sits within Golcar ward and the Colne Valley constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, HD7 4BT is a striving suburban area — non-UK born households working to get ahead. 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 41 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 25% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 22% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 31 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: With prices averaging £163k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the 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 HD7 4BT are sourced from Output Area E00056155 (shared with 3 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
