BLEWS STREET, B6 4HN House Prices & Local Information

B6 4HN is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Blews Street, 0.3km from New Town Row in Birmingham. Administratively it sits within Newtown ward and the Birmingham, Ladywood constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, B6 4HN is a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — non-white workforce in manufacturing and transport. With an average age of just 24, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 26% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. The area has a notably diverse population — 100% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Birmingham. Full-time employment stands at 7% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

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.
