PL1 1DJ is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.4km from Plymouth in Plymouth. Note: this is a large-user or commercial postcode — residential population data may be limited. Administratively it sits within St Peter and the Waterfront ward and the Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport constituency.
Day-to-day life in PL1 1DJ has the character of a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — public administration and security with mainly white workforces. With an average age of just 23, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability.
Safety: Crime rates are high (234 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.
Census 2021 statistics for PL1 1DJ are sourced from Output Area E00181147 (shared with 45 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
