OL14 5DS is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Schofield Street, 0.4km from Cobden in Todmorden. Administratively it sits within Todmorden ward and the Calder Valley constituency.
For renters and young professionals, OL14 5DS offers a classic working-class terrace area — densely packed streets, low ethnic diversity. By day, the area transitions to a large scale education character: large schools, colleges, and universities, nationally widespread. An average age of 36 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 42% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants. The area has a notably diverse population — 36% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Calderdale.
Safety: Crime is moderate at 67 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. 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.
