ST4 1AL is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.3km from Stoke-upon-Trent in Stoke-on-Trent. Administratively it sits within Penkhull and Stoke ward and the Stoke-on-Trent Central constituency.
This is a well-established rental postcode — a mixed area of service workers, students and families in semi-detached housing. The daytime character shifts — manufacturing, transport, and it with higher status mix. An average age of 32 points to a young professional and early-career population — ambitious, mobile, and predominantly renting. 77% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.
Safety: Crime rates are high (144 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 ST4 1AL are sourced from Output Area E00072164 (shared with 142 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
