AUGUSTA ROAD, DT5 1DE House Prices & Local Information

DT5 1DE is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Augusta Road, 0.3km from Grove in Grove (Dorset). Administratively it sits within Portland ward and the South Dorset constituency.

This is a strong family neighbourhood — a classic working-class terrace area — densely packed streets, low ethnic diversity. The daytime character shifts — large schools, colleges, and universities, nationally widespread. The 42 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 66% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 63 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: With prices averaging £178k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, up 5.3% year-on-year. 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.
