M26 1BU is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Crompton Close, 0.3km from Outwood Gate in Radcliffe. Administratively it sits within Radcliffe West ward and the Bury South constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, M26 1BU is a striving suburban area — non-UK born households working to get ahead. By day, the area transitions to a traditional countryside character: mainly white older workforce, self-employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing, with some construction. An average age of 39 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 57% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 24% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Property: With prices averaging £93k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area.

Census 2021 statistics for M26 1BU are sourced from Output Area E00171715 (shared with 12 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
