WA9 1AY House Prices & Local Information

WA9 1AY is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.4km from Finger Post in St Helens (St. Helens). Administratively it sits within Parr ward and the St Helens South and Whiston constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, WA9 1AY is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. By day, the area transitions to a manufacturing, energy and utilities character: manufacturing, energy and utilities. An average age of 35 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 70% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 14% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are above average at 124 incidents per 1,000 residents — worth reviewing the crime breakdown below. 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.
