An affordable area with active regeneration, M5 5DQ is a mixed area of service workers, students and families in semi-detached housing. The daytime character shifts — industrial activities connected with mining and quarrying. The 36 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 79% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.
