FY4 1AD is an up-and-coming urban area on Waterloo Road, 1.0km from Revoe in Blackpool. Administratively it sits within Waterloo ward and the Blackpool South constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a dynamic young family area with frequent movers and a mix of backgrounds. The daytime character shifts — low density wholesale and retail in mostly white areas, often on urban fringe or close to transport nodes. The 44 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 64% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime rates are high (267 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. Property: With prices averaging £100k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the 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.

Census 2021 statistics for FY4 1AD are sourced from Output Area E00064317 (shared with 24 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
