DN1 2EL is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.4km from Danum in Doncaster. Administratively it sits within Town ward and the Doncaster Central constituency.
This is a well-established rental postcode — members of this subgroup have a higher probability than other subgroups of being born in the eu, and of holding degree level qualifications. neighbourhood populations are relatively young, with low proportions above normal retirement age, and have the lowest levels of long-term disability in the group. The daytime character shifts — public administration and security with mainly white workforces. The 36 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 56% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.
Safety: Crime rates are high (289 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.
