House prices in depth

The median sale price in DL1 1AA’s postcode sector is £140,000. That is below the wider district median of £152,500 and well below the national median of £284,238. Semi-detached homes have a median of £150,000 from 126 sales, detached homes £220,000 from 27 sales, terraced homes £90,000 from 86 sales, and flats £75,000 from 11 sales. The mix suggests a clear spread between property types, with flats based on relatively few sales.

Crime in context

Recorded crime stands at 1,949 incidents in the latest 12 months for the local area, down 0.3% on the year. Violence and sexual offences remains the most common category, and it was also the top category three years ago. That gives a picture of little overall movement at the top end of the crime profile, with the current level and the leading category both broadly aligned with the recent past.

Flood risk

The flood band is Medium. That indicates a middle level of flood exposure in the standard local rating, rather than a low or high band. It is a general area measure, so it should be read as neighbourhood-level context rather than a property-by-property assessment.
