EX1 1DZ is an up-and-coming urban area on South Street, 0.1km from Exeter in Exeter. Administratively it sits within St David's ward and the Exeter constituency.
For renters and young professionals, EX1 1DZ offers a high-density urban area of young, single, transient residents. By day, the area transitions to a eat, drink and be merry character: areas dominated by food and entertainment. 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. 56% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.
Safety: Crime rates are high (355 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 EX1 1DZ are sourced from Output Area E00180288 (shared with 89 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
