WEDNESBURY OAK ROAD, DY4 0BD House Prices & Local Information

DY4 0BD is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Wednesbury Oak Road, 0.2km from Gospel Oak in Tipton. Administratively it sits within Princes End ward and the West Bromwich West constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, DY4 0BD is a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. The daytime character shifts — low density wholesale and retail in mostly white areas, often on urban fringe or close to transport nodes. The 40 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 38% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 23% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 25 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Average house prices are around £256k, up 26.8% 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.
