EX2 4DB is an up-and-coming urban area on Friars Green, 0.1km from Friars Green in Exeter. Administratively it sits within St David's ward and the Exeter constituency.
For renters and young professionals, EX2 4DB offers a high-density urban area of young, single, transient residents. By day, the area transitions to a public administration and security character: public administration and security with mainly white workforces. An average age of 42 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 50% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.
Safety: Crime rates are high (202 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 EX2 4DB are sourced from Output Area E00101320 (shared with 7 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
