KEATS ROAD, S6 1AY House Prices & Local Information

S6 1AY is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Keats Road, 0.6km from Birley Edge in Sheffield. Administratively it sits within Southey ward and the Sheffield, Brightside and Hillsborough constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, S6 1AY is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. The daytime character shifts — white, female workforce with low qualifications, working locally. An average age of 35 points to a young professional and early-career population — ambitious, mobile, and predominantly renting. 50% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 22% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 84 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. 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.
