M24 1AE is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.1km from Lark Hill in Middleton (Rochdale). Administratively it sits within North Middleton ward and the Heywood and Middleton constituency.
An affordable area with active regeneration, M24 1AE is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. By day, the area transitions to a healthcare and public administration character: major hospitals and public administration with diverse workforces. An average age of 42 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 30% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 23% — 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.
Census 2021 statistics for M24 1AE are sourced from Output Area E00028050 (shared with 250 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
