An affordable area with active regeneration, LS26 0AU is an area with a high proportion of elderly residents, often in communal housing. By day, the area transitions to a low density wholesale and retail character: low density wholesale and retail in mostly white areas, often on urban fringe or close to transport nodes.

Full-time employment stands at 23% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.
