The local area guide to living in Birmingham

Birmingham is a city in the West Midlands, England, and has long been established as one of the vital industrial centres in the country. As the second biggest city in the UK after London, it is also a commercial and cultural centre, and its economy is an enormous driver for the region.

The city famously has a distinctive culture, history and even accent that differentiates itself from the rest of the country. The locals are colloquially known as 'brummies', and famous examples include John Cadbury (founder of the famous chocolate and sweets company), J.R.R Tolkein, and lead singer of Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne.

Information about the local residents

Birmingham officially registers as the UK's largest local authority, with a population of 1,073,000 as of the 2011 census. There are just over 400,000 households in the city, at an average price of £158,743 - far lower than the average for the rest of the country at £238,393. Just over half of households in Birmingham are either owned outright or with a mortgage.

Birmingham is particularly known for its startling ethnic diversity, having attracted lots of immigrant communities over the decades thanks to its powerful economy.
