BOROUGH ROAD, SR1 1JX House Prices & Local Information

SR1 1JX is an up-and-coming urban area on Borough Road, 0.9km from Moor, Town in Sunderland. Administratively it sits within Hendon ward and the Sunderland Central constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — traditional retail areas with professional services and self-employed, often in market towns and higher status areas. 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. 78% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants. 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 (408 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 1JX are sourced from Output Area E00170234 (shared with 162 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
