The postcode B78 3LF is in the LSOA area called 'Tamworth 005B', in the Castle ward.

The geographical demographic data for B78 3LF has been extracted from the Office of National Statistics, responsible for the collection and publication of UK statistics relating to population, society and economy. (ONS)
