FY4 4XL is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Vicarage Lane, 0.5km from Rough Heys in Blackpool. Administratively it sits within Hawes Side ward and the Blackpool South constituency.

For families considering a move, FY4 4XL represents a stable, owner-occupied suburb — married couples, UK-born, strong community. An average age of 44 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 76% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 46 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. 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 FY4 4XL are sourced from Output Area E00064022 (shared with 7 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
