Tamworth's homes, by the numbers

Tamworth in the 2021 census: 32,895 households, 87% houses, 13% flats.

Tamworth is B77, B78 and B79 — Castle, Bolehall, Belgrave, Amington, Dordon, and out to Baddesley and Grendon. It is a district of Staffordshire, and like Redditch it shares the B postcode with Birmingham while belonging to a different county entirely. Ownership was 67.0% at the 2021 census with social renting at 18.0%. Tamworth expanded substantially under a town development agreement from the 1960s, taking overspill population from Birmingham, so much of the housing is of that period and sits on a concrete ground floor. The medieval core around the castle is the exception. Which side of that divide your property falls on decides whether you are checking a membrane or levelling boards.

Houses take close to nine in ten of the stock across B77, B78 and B79, so a floor going into Bolehall or Wilnecote answers to the building and to the household, and to nothing else. No ceiling below it, no lease clause above it, no acoustic layer somebody else has specified.

Heating finds the difference between the two Tamworths. Concrete warms slowly and lets go slowly, holding an even temperature through the day; the boarded floors of the old town by the castle follow the room instead, warm by evening and cold again by morning.
