FY1 5FL is an up-and-coming urban area on Johnston Street, 0.1km from Revoe in Blackpool. Administratively it sits within Bloomfield ward and the Blackpool South constituency.
Within the FY1 district, this postcode is characterised by a classic working-class terrace area — densely packed streets, low ethnic diversity. By day, the area transitions to a healthcare and public administration character: major hospitals and public administration with diverse workforces. An average age of 36 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets.
Safety: Crime rates are high (172 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. Property: With prices averaging £153k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, up 13.8% year-on-year. 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 FY1 5FL are sourced from Output Area E00063883 (shared with 30 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
