BOROUGH ROAD, SR1 1HS House Prices & Local Information

SR1 1HS is an up-and-coming urban area on Borough Road, 0.7km from Moor, Town in Sunderland. Administratively it sits within Hendon ward and the Sunderland Central constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, SR1 1HS is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. By day, the area transitions to a healthcare and public administration character: major hospitals and public administration with diverse workforces. An average age of 37 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 53% 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 (183 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. Property: With prices averaging £61k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, up 297.0% year-on-year. 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.
