NP20 1AD is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Upper Dock Street, 0.4km from Marshes in Newport (Newport). Administratively it sits within Stow Hill ward and the Newport West constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — members of this subgroup have a higher probability than other subgroups of being born in the eu, and of holding degree level qualifications. neighbourhood populations are relatively young, with low proportions above normal retirement age, and have the lowest levels of long-term disability in the group. Work and footfall patterns mark this as a healthcare and public administration zone — major hospitals and public administration with diverse workforces. The 35 average age reflects a thriving young professional community — a good mix of renters and first-time buyers, with strong employment rates. 59% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.
