NE23 1EG is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.3km from Nelson Village in Cramlington. Administratively it sits within Cramlington West ward and the Blyth Valley constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, NE23 1EG is a family-oriented neighbourhood with a mix of housing types. By day, the area transitions to a mining and quarrying facilities character: industrial activities connected with mining and quarrying. An average age of 39 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 54% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 47 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. 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 NE23 1EG are sourced from Output Area E00139497 (shared with 54 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
