CV2 1BN is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.3km from Henley Green in Coventry. Administratively it sits within Henley ward and the Coventry North East constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, CV2 1BN is a mixed area of service workers, students and families in semi-detached housing. The daytime character shifts — ethnically mixed workforce in transportation and storage. With an average age of just 28, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 75% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. The area has a notably diverse population — 38% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Coventry. Full-time employment stands at 16% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 41 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. 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.
