GL1 1BZ House Prices & Local Information

GL1 1BZ is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.5km from Gloucester in Gloucester. Administratively it sits within Westgate ward and the Gloucester constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, GL1 1BZ is a young, diverse area with many ethnic minority families and children. The daytime character shifts — traditional retail areas with professional services and self-employed, often in market towns and higher status areas. An average age of 31 points to a young professional and early-career population — ambitious, mobile, and predominantly renting. 59% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 23% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are high (497 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.
