WD24 4AX is a safe, established residential area on St Albans Road, 0.3km from North Watford in Watford (Watford). Administratively it sits within Callowland ward and the Watford constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — 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. The daytime character shifts — ethnically mixed self-employed with no fixed place of work in construction, transport, and storage. An average age of 33 points to a young professional and early-career population — ambitious, mobile, and predominantly renting. 55% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.
