About this data

Due to the limited amount of people who may live in B70 0JG, we've expanded the catchment area to include the neighbourhood.

Rather than showing demographic data from just B70 0JG, we've taken data from the LSOA (Lower Super Output Area) so we can display accurate demographic data.

Using a bigger sample of the local population gives us more insightful data than relying solely on the 125 people who live in B70 0JG.

The postcode B70 0JG is in the LSOA area called 'Sandwell 013B', in the Wednesbury South ward.

The geographical demographic data for B70 0JG 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)
