NN1 1BX is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.4km from Semilong in Northampton. Note: this is a large-user or commercial postcode — residential population data may be limited. Administratively it sits within St. George ward and the Northampton South constituency.

Within the NN1 district, this postcode is characterised by a diverse renting area with many ethnic minority families, mostly European-born. By day, the area transitions to a teachers and carers in metro suburbs character: ethnically mixed workforce primarily in care and education. 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. The area has a notably diverse population — 34% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of West Northamptonshire.

Safety: Crime rates are high (154 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. 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 NN1 1BX are sourced from Output Area E00138127 (shared with 1399 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
