Within the DY8 district, this postcode is characterised by an area with a high proportion of elderly residents, often in communal housing. By day, the area transitions to a low density wholesale and retail character: low density wholesale and retail in mostly white areas, often on urban fringe or close to transport nodes. 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.

Safety: Crime rates are above average at 105 incidents per 1,000 residents — worth reviewing the crime breakdown below.
