LS16 6PQ is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.5km from Troy in Leeds. Administratively it sits within Weetwood ward and the Leeds North West constituency.
This is a strong family neighbourhood — an area with a high proportion of elderly residents, often in communal housing. The daytime character shifts — ethnically mixed self-employed professional services, home workers in outer suburbs. The 41 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 66% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.
Safety: Crime rates are low here at 38 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.
