NN16 0SF is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Ford Street, 0.7km from Kettering in Kettering. Administratively it sits within Northall ward and the Kettering constituency.
An affordable area with active regeneration, NN16 0SF is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. By day, the area transitions to a public administration and security character: public administration and security with mainly white workforces. 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. 33% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.
Safety: Crime is moderate at 84 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. 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.
Census 2021 statistics for NN16 0SF are sourced from Output Area E00137905 (shared with 8 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
