Old Moor doesn't give you much to go on, and it's better to say that plainly than to dress it up. There's no local snapshot here worth quoting - no crime figures, no house price, no school or transport data specific to the place itself - which usually means it's a small locality that gets folded into the wider Northumberland picture rather than measured on its own terms.
What we can say is where it sits regionally. Northumberland's median house price is £192,250, well under the national figure of £281,000, and the North East as a whole runs cheaper across the board than England's average on rent, income and qualification levels. If Old Moor follows that pattern - and as a small North East locality it likely does - you're looking at a part of the country where property is markedly more affordable than the national picture, wages and management-level employment sit a little below the England-wide norm, and the pace of life reflects that: less pressured housing market, less churn, a place where money stretches further than it would further south.
Beyond that, I'd be inventing detail I don't have, and that's not much use to you when you're trying to decide whether to actually live somewhere. If you're looking seriously at Old Moor, the honest next step is to ask for the address-level or postcode data - crime rates, the nearest schools and their Ofsted ratings, actual sale prices on the street - because none of that has surfaced here, and a fifteen-second feel for a place needs more than a regional average to stand on.
