OX1 1DN is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.5km from Grandpont in Oxford. Administratively it sits within Osney & St Thomas ward and the Oxford East constituency.
This is a well-established rental postcode — a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — high status management and administration, especially public sector. With an average age of just 25, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 70% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants. The area has a notably diverse population — 31% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Oxford.
Safety: Crime rates are high (145 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 OX1 1DN are sourced from Output Area E00186021 (shared with 50 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
