S60 1ED is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.5km from Thorn Hill in Rotherham. Note: this is a large-user or commercial postcode — residential population data may be limited. Administratively it sits within Boston Castle ward and the Rotherham constituency.
Within the S60 district, this postcode is characterised by a mixed area of service workers, students and families in semi-detached housing. By day, the area transitions to a mining and quarrying facilities character: industrial activities connected with mining and quarrying. An average age of 35 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets.
Safety: Crime rates are high (401 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 S60 1ED are sourced from Output Area E00168755 (shared with 147 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
