OX2 8NA is a safe, established residential area located 0.2km from Cutteslowe in Oxford. Administratively it sits within Wolvercote ward and the Oxford West and Abingdon constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, OX2 8NA is a striving suburban area — non-UK born households working to get ahead. By day, the area transitions to a large scale education character: large schools, colleges, and universities, nationally widespread. An average age of 44 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 43% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 24% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 29 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families.

Census 2021 statistics for OX2 8NA are sourced from Output Area E00145667 (shared with 10 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
