NP20 1DG is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Upper Dock Street, 0.5km from Baneswell 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 market squares zone — traditional retail areas with professional services and self-employed, often in market towns and higher status areas. 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.

Safety: Crime rates are above average at 94 incidents per 1,000 residents — worth reviewing the crime breakdown below. Property: With prices averaging £156k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the 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.
