PL4 0DN is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.2km from Barbican 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 0DN is a diverse renting area with many ethnic minority families, mostly European-born. By day, the area transitions to a large scale education character: large schools, colleges, and universities, nationally widespread. An average age of 43 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 32% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.
Safety: Crime rates are high (268 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 0DN are sourced from Output Area E00076568 (shared with 17 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
