PO1 1HA is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.4km from Landport in Portsmouth. Administratively it sits within Charles Dickens ward and the Portsmouth South constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, PO1 1HA is a young, diverse area with many ethnic minority families and children. By day, the area transitions to a multiethnic urban high streets character: urban high streets with mixed ethnicity and businesses. An average age of 38 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 81% 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 (156 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 PO1 1HA are sourced from Output Area E00086022 (shared with 29 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
