This data and analysis gives you a great insight into the tapestry of life in TR16 6NJ.
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

TR16 6NJ has a population density that's lower than the regional average of 239.2 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.
