WF13 1HB House Prices & Local Information

WF13 1HB is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.3km from Eightlands in Dewsbury. Administratively it sits within Dewsbury East ward and the Dewsbury constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, WF13 1HB is a busy family neighbourhood — lots of children, diverse backgrounds. By day, the area transitions to a healthcare and public administration character: major hospitals and public administration with diverse workforces. An average age of 35 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 39% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. The area has a notably diverse population — 41% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Kirklees. Full-time employment stands at 20% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are high (231 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. 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.
