COMMERCIAL ROAD, PO1 1HB House Prices & Local Information

PO1 1HB is an up-and-coming urban area on Commercial Road, 0.5km from Landport in Portsmouth. Note: this is a large-user or commercial postcode — residential population data may be limited. Administratively it sits within Charles Dickens ward and the Portsmouth South constituency.

Within the PO1 district, this postcode is characterised by a young, diverse area with many ethnic minority families and children. By day, the area transitions to a multiethnic urban high streets character: urban high streets with mixed ethnicity and businesses. An average age of 38 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets.

Safety: Crime rates are high (151 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.
