NN16 0AU is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.3km from Kettering in Kettering. Administratively it sits within Northall ward and the Kettering constituency.
An affordable area with active regeneration, NN16 0AU is a neighbourhood with pockets of retirees, often in communal or managed housing. By day, the area transitions to a industrial units character: non-white workforce in manufacturing and transport. A well-settled, later-life community (average age 60) — very low tenant turnover, high ownership, and a quiet residential character. 74% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 17% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.
Safety: Crime rates are high (215 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.
