BD5 0HW is an up-and-coming urban area on Ludlam Street, 0.3km from Broomfields in Bradford. Administratively it sits within City ward and the Bradford West constituency.
An affordable area with active regeneration, BD5 0HW is a young, diverse area with many ethnic minority families and children. By day, the area transitions to a industrial units character: non-white workforce in manufacturing and transport. An average age of 42 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 82% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. The area has a notably diverse population — 54% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Bradford. Full-time employment stands at 18% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.
Safety: Crime rates are high (195 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.
Census 2021 statistics for BD5 0HW are sourced from Output Area E00054156 (shared with 61 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
