BH6 3BT is a safe, established residential area located 0.3km from Southbourne, West in Bournemouth. Administratively it sits within West Southbourne ward and the Bournemouth East constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — members of this subgroup are likely to be married, and the numbers of households with children are above the group average. adults are more likely to be in the 25 to 44 age group, and older residents are also more prevalent than elsewhere in this group. the subgroup is less ethnically diverse than the group average, with slightly more white ethnic group members, and has more secular attitudes to religion than the group as a whole. residence in the social rented sector is very rare. households in this subgroup are more likely to own multiple cars than those assigned elsewhere in the group. students are relatively less common, although individuals are highly skilled and educated to degree standard. unemployment or part-time work is rare, and many individuals are employed in associate professional, technical, administrative or secretarial occupations. The daytime character shifts — traditional retail areas with professional services and self-employed, often in market towns and higher status areas. The 36 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 65% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 33 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families.
