The postcode B20 2NU is in the LSOA area called 'Birmingham 032C', in the Handsworth Wood ward.

The geographical demographic data for B20 2NU has been extracted from the Office of National Statistics, responsible for the collection and publication of UK statistics relating to population, society and economy. (ONS)
