CV1 1JA is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.3km from Coventry in Coventry. Administratively it sits within St Michael's ward and the Coventry South constituency.
An affordable area with active regeneration, CV1 1JA is a diverse renting area with many ethnic minority families, mostly European-born. The daytime character shifts — urban high streets with mixed ethnicity and businesses. With an average age of just 28, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 66% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. The area has a notably diverse population — 51% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Coventry. Full-time employment stands at 10% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.
Safety: Crime rates are high (363 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
Census 2021 statistics for CV1 1JA are sourced from Output Area E00172213 (shared with 49 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
