Property Price & Volume Trends
The average property price in S13 is £192,000, placing it among the cheapest neighbourhoods nationally. Despite this affordability, the area has experienced above-average growth over the past decade, with prices rising at 4.5% per year—a rate in the top fifth nationally. Transaction volumes have slowed noticeably, with 274 sales in the latest year compared to an average of 375 over the previous ten years.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rents in the broader S postcode area stand at £713, well below the national average. Rental growth has been modest at 3.6% per year, slightly slower than the national trend. The flat yield has improved to 4.7%, up from a ten-year average of 4.1%, reflecting the stronger returns now available to landlords in this part of the market.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income in S13 is £32,237, notably below the national average. This low income combined with rising property prices has widened the affordability gap: the price-to-income ratio has deteriorated from 5.1x in 2016 to 5.7x today. Rental affordability has improved markedly, however, with the rent-to-income ratio falling from 22.4% to 20.8% over the same period.
Resident Demographic Profile
The age profile is broadly balanced with a slightly above-average share of those aged 50–64 (20.6%). Housing tenure shows a notably high rate of social rented properties at 25%—well above the national average of 16.5%—reflecting the area's social housing provision. The employment mix is skewed towards trades (13.7%) and elementary occupations (11.7%), both markedly higher than national levels, while professional roles (14.7%) are proportionally underrepresented.
