NN2 8ZB is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.6km from Bellinge in Northampton. Note: this is a large-user or commercial postcode — residential population data may be limited. Administratively it sits within Billing and Rectory Farm ward and the Northampton South constituency.

Within the NN2 district, this postcode is characterised by a classic working-class terrace area — densely packed streets, low ethnic diversity. By day, the area transitions to a industrial units character: non-white workforce in manufacturing and transport. At 48 years average, the community has a secure, family-first character — valued for its stability, low turnover, and strong local identity.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 71 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 NN2 8ZB are sourced from Output Area E00138060 (shared with 514 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
