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.
