PL5 1BW House Prices & Local Information

PL5 1BW is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.3km from Barne Bottom in Plymouth. Administratively it sits within St Budeaux ward and the Plymouth, Moor View constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, PL5 1BW is a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. The daytime character shifts — white, female workforce with low qualifications, working locally. An average age of 30 points to a young professional and early-career population — ambitious, mobile, and predominantly renting. 91% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 23% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 78 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.
