SS16 4DB is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Vange Hill Drive, 0.5km from Vange in Basildon. Administratively it sits within Vange ward and the South Basildon and East Thurrock constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, SS16 4DB is a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. By day, the area transitions to a self-employed tradespeople in multicultural metro suburbs character: ethnically mixed self-employed with no fixed place of work in construction, transport, and storage. 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.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 61 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: Average house prices are around £302k. 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 SS16 4DB are sourced from Output Area E00108334 (shared with 9 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
