PL1 1AS is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.5km from Millbay in Plymouth. Administratively it sits within St Peter and the Waterfront ward and the Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport constituency.
An affordable area with active regeneration, PL1 1AS is a young, diverse area with many ethnic minority families and children. The daytime character shifts — low density wholesale and retail in mostly white areas, often on urban fringe or close to transport nodes. An average age of 33 points to a young professional and early-career population — ambitious, mobile, and predominantly renting. 56% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 20% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.
Safety: Crime rates are high (190 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.
