NR4 6BQ is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Tuckswood Lane, 0.5km from Tuckswood in Norwich. Administratively it sits within Lakenham ward and the Norwich South constituency.
An affordable area with active regeneration, NR4 6BQ is a striving suburban area — non-UK born households working to get ahead. By day, the area transitions to a large scale education character: large schools, colleges, and universities, nationally widespread. An average age of 37 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 49% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.
Safety: Crime rates are low here at 46 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Average house prices are around £242k. 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 NR4 6BQ are sourced from Output Area E00136392 (shared with 5 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
