PE2 6YQ House Prices & Local Information

PE2 6YQ is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.2km from Orton Southgate in Peterborough. Administratively it sits within Orton Waterville ward and the North West Cambridgeshire constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, PE2 6YQ is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. Work and footfall patterns mark this as a industrial units zone — non-white workforce in manufacturing and transport. The 33 average age reflects a thriving young professional community — a good mix of renters and first-time buyers, with strong employment rates. 26% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 21 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.
