    Luton ?

    is it ok for short habitation ?




    Local area
    Full neighbourhood profile
    The demographics and housing often found in this and similar postcodes, means this postcode is classed as crowded Asian terraces. These are known as type 37 in the ACORN classification and 0.51% of the UK’s population live in this type.

    Very high concentrations of neighbourhoods fitting this profile are found in Bradford, Southall, Blackburn, East London and Birmingham. Here is an overview of the likely preferences and features of your neighbourhood:

    Family income Low
    Interest in current affairs High
    Housing - with mortgage Low
    Educated - to degree Low
    Couples with children High
    Have satellite TV Medium

    This type of postcode is characterised by very high numbers of young Asian families living in older terraced housing in our major towns and cities. Within this type 70% of people are Asian. There are also high numbers of students sharing rented accommodation. Overall, the relatively large families and the number of students sharing make these houses some of the most crowded in the country.

    Unemployment levels are much higher than average. Qualification levels are low, and where people do work, they are in routine manual jobs or working in the retail sector. Very few women work, and most are likely to be concentrating on bringing up their young families. This type of postcode has the highest number of children under the age of four.

    Incomes are low, and with families to support there is little to spend on anything but the essentials. They will buy their food at Asda and Morrisons, and many will buy clothes at the supermarket as well. Mail order from the traditional catalogues such as Littlewoods is also popular, where the credit offer may be important. Their religion is very important to them, and religious activities provide much of their social contact.

    The most popular newspapers are the Daily Mirror, The Guardian and Independent.

    At home, many have cable TV for greater viewing choice including some Asian channels. They are unlikely to go on holiday often, but when they do, long haul trips, perhaps to visit family, are popular.

      Don't do it. You'll lower the tone.

        I think the locals would, quite rightly, look down on you.
        Hard Brexit now!

                  Not with the roadworks it isn't. When I find myself driving over the M1 about there and looking down on it, southbound is generally stationary after about 7:30 a.m.

                  The UpMyStreet classification is about right. It doesn't mention other factors like the possible, ah, culturally variant approaches to car driving.

                    Picture a right minger in an A3, breaking every traffic law possible on the way into London whilst admiring itself in the rear-view mirror.
