Default Check Out Your Neighbourhood\'s Profile!

http://www.upmystreet.com/

Just scroll down to where it says 'Check Out Your Neighbourhood's Profile' and enter your post code in the box.

I got:

Quote:
Often, many of the people who live in this sort of postcode will be low income families living in terraced estates. These are known as type 47 in the ACORN classification and 2.41% of the UK’s population live in this type.

Neighbourhoods fitting this profile can be found throughout the country, including in Motherwell, Knowsley, Dagenham, Hartlepool and Sunderland. Here is an overview of the likely preferences and features of your neighbourhood:

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

These are poor families in low-rise estates.

The estates are home to nearly as many single parents as traditional two parent families. There are many school age children and families are larger than average. There are also some couples whose children have left home. Housing is usually in the form of low-rise council terraces, perhaps with three bedrooms, but still crowded for the size of family.

To be earning anything approaching an average income is rare. Long-term unemployment is high, and employment is routine factory or manual work.

Travel is on foot or by public transport since few own a car.

With money tight, food shopping might be in Aldi or Kwik Save. Clothes might be bought at Asda, New Look or frequently from catalogues.

In common with other low income types, the pub, betting, football pools, lottery and bingo are common activities and entertainments. One luxury might be cable TV.


Just to make it clear: I do have a car, have money, I don't shop in Aldi or Kwick Save, and I don't buy clothes from Asda oe New Look ().
