WV1 1NT is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Stafford Street, 0.7km from Dunstall Hill in Wolverhampton. Administratively it sits within Heath Town ward and the Wolverhampton North East constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — non-white workforce in manufacturing and transport. With an average age of just 24, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 67% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants. The area has a notably diverse population — 100% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Wolverhampton.

Safety: Crime rates are above average at 92 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.

Census 2021 statistics for WV1 1NT are sourced from Output Area E00181854 (shared with 113 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
