For renters and young professionals, OL13 0DS offers an area with a high proportion of elderly residents, often in communal housing. By day, the area transitions to a non-metropolitan suburban areas character: white, female workforce with low qualifications, working locally.

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.
