NN5 4DB is a safe, established residential area on Samwell Lane, 1.4km from Duston in Northampton. Administratively it sits within Sixfields ward and the South Northamptonshire constituency.

This is a strong family neighbourhood — members of this subgroup have a higher probability than other subgroups of being born in the eu, and of holding degree level qualifications. neighbourhood populations are relatively young, with low proportions above normal retirement age, and have the lowest levels of long-term disability in the group.
