WICK ROAD, E9 5AY House Prices & Local Information

E9 5AY is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Wick Road, 0.3km from Homerton in Hackney. Administratively it sits within Hackney Wick ward and the Hackney South and Shoreditch constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, E9 5AY is a young, diverse area with many ethnic minority families and children. By day, the area transitions to a self-employed tradespeople in multicultural metro suburbs character: ethnically mixed self-employed with no fixed place of work in construction, transport, and storage. An average age of 35 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 85% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. The area has a notably diverse population — 100% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Hackney. Full-time employment stands at 15% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 78 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. 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.
