The postcode WV4 4NY is in the LSOA area called 'Wolverhampton 028C', in the Merry Hill ward.

The geographical demographic data for WV4 4NY 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)
