FY1 5NW is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.6km from Great Marton in Blackpool. Administratively it sits within Tyldesley ward and the Blackpool South constituency.
This is a well-established rental postcode — a classic working-class terrace area — densely packed streets, low ethnic diversity. A balanced community with an average age of 39 — families, professionals, and long-term residents all well represented. 44% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.
Safety: Crime is moderate at 72 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. 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.
