NE6 1BF is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.4km from Byker in Newcastle upon Tyne. Administratively it sits within Byker ward and the Newcastle upon Tyne East constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, NE6 1BF is a diverse urban neighbourhood with mixed household types and languages. By day, the area transitions to a public administration and security character: public administration and security with mainly white workforces.

Safety: Crime rates are above average at 115 incidents per 1,000 residents — worth reviewing the crime breakdown below. 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.
