SS14 2EX is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.5km from Fryerns in Basildon. Administratively it sits within Fryerns ward and the Basildon and Billericay constituency.
An affordable area with active regeneration, SS14 2EX is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. By day, the area transitions to a healthcare and public administration character: major hospitals and public administration with diverse workforces. An average age of 40 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 52% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.
Safety: Crime rates are low here at 49 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.
Census 2021 statistics for SS14 2EX are sourced from Output Area E00108030 (shared with 13 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
