Understanding the makeup of communities is at the very heart of the Census. The "People & Demographics" section looks at who we are, how we live, and the spaces we share. From population density - how tightly packed or spacious your neighbourhood feels - to people's relationships that shape households, every detail helps build a picture of daily life. You'll also find insights into age groups and household compositions, revealing generational trends and living arrangements. This data and analysis gives you a great insight into the tapestry of life in LD4 4DB.
Population Density
Census 2021 dataset "TS002 - Population Density" provides a detailed look at how people are distributed across an area, measured as the number of residents per square kilometre. This is a key indicator that helps us understand how crowded or spacious a location feels. Higher density often suggests urban areas with compact housing and busy communities, whereas lower density points to rural or semi-rural locations with open space and/or countryside and fewer neighbours.
Packed or Peaceful? How This Postcode Stacks Up
The Census 2021 reports a population density of 5 people per square kilometre for this area (closest match to OA output area). This figure highlights how concentrated the population is within the neighbourhood, helping to evaluate its overall spaciousness or density.
LD4 4DB has a population density that's lower than the regional average of 149.9 people per km2, based on Census 2021 data. This lower density often can indicate a quieter and less crowded environment, with more space per household and a more relaxed pace of life. While there may still be access to essential amenities and community resources, the reduced density could mean fewer nearby services and longer journeys for some activities such as communiting.
