WS9 0DQ is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Redhouse Lane, 0.4km from Pool Green in Aldridge. Administratively it sits within Aldridge Central and South ward and the Aldridge-Brownhills constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, WS9 0DQ is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. By day, the area transitions to a business parks character: manufacturing, transport, and it with higher status mix. 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. 44% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 28 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Average house prices are around £207k, up 41.4% year-on-year. 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 WS9 0DQ are sourced from Output Area E00051800 (shared with 5 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
