Dacorum 003 · 3 sub-areas · 5,161 residents
Dacorum 003 sits within the Dacorum district in the East of England, home to around 5,200 people. A typical two-bedroom home lets for about £1,360 a month — above the national average for a two-bed, though modest by commuter-belt standards. Nearly seven in ten households own their home, giving this area a noticeably more settled, owner-occupied character than much of the surrounding region.
Tring North is a green, lower-density part of Dacorum — parks within walking distance of most addresses, a slower weekday rhythm, and a population skewed toward longer-tenure households rather than transient renters. Most homes are owner-occupied, so turnover is low and many residents have been here a long time.

Tring North in Dacorum
Living in Tring North
Dacorum 003 is a predominantly residential pocket of Dacorum — quiet, largely owner-occupied, and with a strong family presence. Around two-thirds of residents own their home, which shapes the feel of the place: longer-term neighbours, less turnover, and a general sense of stability. Green space is close at hand for most people, with the nearest park or open space typically within a few minutes' walk and around two-thirds of residents able to reach greenspace on foot.
On cost, this is solidly mid-range for the commuter belt. A two-bedroom home runs about £1,360 a month — notably above the UK median of around £1,200 for that size — and a three-bed pushes to roughly £1,635. The median house price sits above £450,000, meaning deposits take years to build: around six years on a typical local salary. Council tax (Band D) comes to about £2,410 a year, which is in line with the wider district.
The people here skew slightly older than many urban areas. The under-18 share is relatively high at nearly a quarter of the population, which tallies with the strong proportion of couple-with-children households — about one in four homes fits that profile. Single-person households account for just under three in ten. The area is predominantly UK-born, with an ethnic diversity index of 11.4, lower than most larger towns nearby.
Practically speaking, the nearest rail station is roughly 2.8 km away — around a 35-minute walk, though most residents drive. Nearly half the working population commutes by car, and close to four in ten work from home, which explains why public transport use is low at just over 3%. Gigabit broadband reaches over 90% of premises, making it well-suited to home working. See the streets and sub-areas below for more.
