SR1 1BW House Prices & Local Information

SR1 1BW is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.7km from Garth in Sunderland. Note: this is a large-user or commercial postcode — residential population data may be limited. Administratively it sits within Hendon ward and the Sunderland Central constituency.

Day-to-day life in SR1 1BW has the character of a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — public administration and security with mainly white workforces. With an average age of just 27, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. The area has a notably diverse population — 36% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Sunderland.

Safety: Crime rates are high (419 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 SR1 1BW are sourced from Output Area E00170234 (shared with 162 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
