Among the most deprived areas
This neighbourhood sits in the 2nd tenth of England, ranked 3,319 of 32,844. Measured across the surrounding LSOA, so it describes the area rather than this postcode alone.
Reported crime
475 reports, about 39.6 a month
Within 500 m of here, in the 12 months to July 2026. The police record each report at a point on or near a street, never at an address.
What properties sell for
Every registered sale, as recorded by HM Land Registry. Repossessions and transfers to a company are excluded, so these are open-market prices.
Median sale price

By property type
4 kinds sold

Schools Nearest is The John Wallis Church of England Academy · 10 within 2.0 km 400 m
State and independent schools. Ofsted replaced its single overall grade with a report card of separate area grades in November 2025, so a school shows either those area grades, an earlier overall grade with its year, or the result of an ungraded inspection - a check that the previous grade still holds rather than a new judgement. Independent schools are inspected by the ISI, which publishes no grades, so they show none.
