PL4 0AZ is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.2km from Sutton in Plymouth. Administratively it sits within St Peter and the Waterfront ward and the Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, PL4 0AZ is a diverse renting area with many ethnic minority families, mostly European-born. By day, the area transitions to a public administration and security character: public administration and security with mainly white workforces. An average age of 37 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 70% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 20% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are high (180 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 PL4 0AZ are sourced from Output Area E00172056 (shared with 69 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
