Often, many of the people who live in this sort of postcode will be single parents and pensioners living in council terraces. These are known as type 51 in the ACORN classification and 1.83% of the UK’s population live in this type.
Many towns and cities will have some neighbourhoods fitting this profile, but concentrations are found in Newcastle, Sunderland, Belfast, Liverpool and Greater Manchester.Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment
