S71 1AZ House Prices & Local Information

S71 1AZ is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.3km from Town End in Barnsley. Administratively it sits within Central ward and the Barnsley Central constituency.

For families considering a move, S71 1AZ represents a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. By day, the area transitions to a low density wholesale and retail character: low density wholesale and retail in mostly white areas, often on urban fringe or close to transport nodes. An average age of 40 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 57% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are high (345 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. Property: With prices averaging £162k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the 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.

Census 2021 statistics for S71 1AZ are sourced from Output Area E00037176 (shared with 53 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
