Area Overview for LS28 6QB

Living in LS28 6QB means inhabiting a tightly packed residential cluster in west Leeds, within the Calverley and Farsley ward. The area covers just 1.1 hectares, yet holds a population of 1,664, resulting in a population density of 155,425 people per square kilometre—a stark contrast to the broader ward’s 24,595 residents. This small postcode is part of a historically rural region, with Calverley village sitting on the A657 road, four miles from Bradford and ten miles from Leeds. The area’s character is shaped by its proximity to Pudsey and its inclusion in a ward with a median age of 40, though LS28 6QB itself has a median age of 47. The community is predominantly White, with 80.8% of the ward’s population identifying as such. While the ward ranks near the bottom of Leeds for deprivation, LS28 6QB’s high population density suggests a mix of established residents and those in more modest housing. The area’s compact size means daily life is centred around nearby amenities, with limited space for expansion.

The demographic profile of LS28 6QB reflects a mature community, with a median age of 47 and the most common age range being adults aged 30–64. Home ownership is high at 73%, with the majority of properties being houses rather than flats or apartments. The predominant ethnic group is White, aligning with the broader ward’s 80.8% White population. The ward’s deprivation ranking—near the bottom of Leeds—suggests that many residents experience mid-range deprivation, which can impact access to services and opportunities. However, this does not necessarily reflect LS28 6QB specifically, as the postcode’s small size and high density may create a distinct micro-environment. The area’s older demographic and high home ownership indicate a stable, long-term resident base, though the lack of detailed data on household types or diversity beyond ethnicity means broader assumptions about community structure remain limited.
