PE2 8SJ is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.4km from Fletton, Old in Peterborough. Administratively it sits within Stanground South ward and the North West Cambridgeshire constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, PE2 8SJ is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. By day, the area transitions to a industrial units character: non-white workforce in manufacturing and transport. An average age of 40 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 58% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 61 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban 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 PE2 8SJ are sourced from Output Area E00079261 (shared with 8 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
