For families considering a move, NP22 3AS represents a quiet rural community with low density and high home ownership. By day, the area transitions to a mining and quarrying facilities character: industrial activities connected with mining and quarrying.

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.
