Property Price & Volume Trends
The average property price of £217,278 places DN11 among the cheapest nationally. Over the past decade, prices have grown by 3.4% annually—a pace close to the national average. Transaction volumes have eased recently, with 403 sales in the latest year compared to a 10-year average of 534, reflecting a quieter market.
Rent & Yield Trends
Rents in the broader DN postcode area are exceptionally low at £658 per month—among the lowest nationally. Rental growth has been modest at 3.2% per year, well below the national pace. The flat yield has strengthened to 6.0%, above its 10-year average of 5.1%, reflecting improving returns for landlords despite weak rental growth.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £36,551 is slightly below the national median. The price-to-income ratio of 5.7x has edged upward since 2016 (5.6x), indicating that property has become marginally less affordable relative to local earnings. Rental affordability, however, has improved: the rent-to-income ratio has fallen from 21.3% to 20.5%, suggesting rents now consume a smaller share of household income.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population skews older, with 22.5% aged 65 and over—notably higher than the national average of 19.6%—while those aged 16–24 are significantly underrepresented at 8.9% against 11.0% nationally. Housing tenure shows stronger outright ownership at 37.3% and a higher proportion of mortgaged homes at 30.7%, reflecting a more settled, owner-occupier population. The employment mix is more trade and elementary-heavy, with 12.6% in trades and 12.4% in elementary roles, whilst professional roles are less common at 14.4%.
