The figures
Figures are shown against their own scale, or against the England figure beside them. These are a reading aid, not a rating — StreetOwl does not score places.

| Planning designations | Conservation area | — | the centre postcode planning.data.gov.uk these cover the centre point, not necessarily the whole area. |
| Recorded crimes | 594 | — | within about a mile of the centre police.uk street-level offences reported in July 2026. A count, not a rate — the police publish no population for this area, so it cannot be compared with a bigger or smaller place. |
| Rivers and sea flood risk | not in an at-risk band | — | the centre postcode Environment Agency NaFRA2 England only, indicative, by 50 m cell, rivers and sea only. It says nothing about surface water. |
| GP practices used by this neighbourhood | 74 | — | this neighbourhood (LSOA, about 1,500 people) NHS England, patients registered at a GP practice Most use University Health Centre (44%). Where neighbours are registered — not a catchment, and not a guarantee of a place. |
| Miles to the nearest acute hospital | 1.2 | — | straight-line distance from the centre NHS England, with NHS ODS site locations Bmi Healthcare - The Huddersfield Hospital, run by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. Straight-line, not a journey time, and the nearest site is not always the one you would be taken to. |
| Major infrastructure projects nearby | none on the register | — | centred within 9 miles of the centre Planning Inspectorate NSIP register Airports, power stations, reservoirs, major roads and the like. Each project is recorded at a single point, so one counted here may be centred some way off. |
| Planning applications nearby | 1 | — | within 600 m of the centre Council planning registers via PlanIt recently listed on the council's own register. A count of applications, not of approvals. |
| Renewable energy schemes nearby | 13 | — | within 1.9 miles of the centre DESNZ Renewable Energy Planning Database 9.5 MW of it already operating. Wind, solar, hydro and battery schemes of roughly 150 kW and above. Counts schemes refused or withdrawn too, so it is what has been proposed here, not what is running. |
| Schools within 3 miles | 51 | — | within 3 miles of the centre DfE Get Information About Schools 42 primary, 9 secondary. Open schools only. DfE no longer publishes an Ofsted grade in this register, so each school listed below links to its own Ofsted report. |

Who lives here
From the 2021 census, for this MSOA — about 7,200 residents, which is wider than a street and narrower than a town. These are the area’s own proportions beside England’s. StreetOwl does not rank or score them.
Ethnic group
Self-described, in the census's own categories.
| Group | Here | England |

The only voluntary question on the census — “not answered” is counted here as its own category, not removed from the total.
