PL4 0SR is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.3km from Prince Rock in Plymouth. Administratively it sits within Sutton and Mount Gould ward and the Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, PL4 0SR is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. The daytime character shifts — manufacturing, transport, and it with higher status mix. An average age of 35 points to a young professional and early-career population — ambitious, mobile, and predominantly renting. 33% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 39 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.
