The postcode M24 5WX is in the LSOA area called 'Rochdale 022B', in the West Middleton ward.

The geographical demographic data for M24 5WX 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)
