The postcode WS1 4HJ is in the LSOA area called 'Walsall 034B', in the Palfrey ward.

The geographical demographic data for WS1 4HJ 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)
