Too few classified venues
2 of 13 mapped venues within 1 km have a known position. 11 are unclassified and do not move the bar. Nearby venues carry more weight.
Coverage and calculation
Experimental. Existing brand positions run from 1 (budget) to 5 (luxury). Each distinct venue uses the first matching distance band: within 250 m ×3; within 500 m ×2; within 1000 m ×1. Average these positions using the distance weights, then map 1–5 to 0–100 (3 becomes 50). At least 5 classified venues are needed. Reviewed gym tiers use premium=4, mid=3, budget=2 for this experiment only. Budget-led through 37.5; Premium-led from 62.5; otherwise Mixed. Unclassified venues are excluded from the calculation. This changes no existing score.
11 mapped venues are unclassified. Health coverage is limited to reviewed gym brands; independent gyms, spas and clinical services have no price or quality classification. Hotel stars are OpenStreetMap volunteer tags, not an official rating. Volunteer mapping and the classified subset are not a census of every venue.

Children under 16 in relative low-income families (before housing costs) in each financial year, as a share of residents aged 0 to 15 at the 2021 census, a fixed base. DWP definitions: a child is in relative low income when their family's income before housing costs, adjusted for the size and make-up of the household, is below 60% of the median that year; income includes earnings, state support and pensions. Only families claiming Child Benefit and at least one other household benefit (Universal Credit, tax credits or Housing Benefit) are counted. Stat-Xplore holds these figures from 2021/22 on 2021 boundaries; DWP's earlier years (from 2014/15) were published on older boundaries and are not connected. Neighbourhood: St Albans 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021). Ward figures are in the row below: no count of all children by ward is loaded, so the ward is not drawn as a share.

Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first month after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); 2: August 2022, the first month DWP marks people moved across from older benefits by Move to UC. People on Universal Credit on the second Thursday of each month (May 2013 to May 2026), all ages, as a share of residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base: population change since 2021 is not reflected. Neighbourhood: St Albans 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021). Universal Credit has been replacing six older benefits (income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, income-related Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Housing Benefit, Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit) since 2013. It was rolled out area by area until it took new claims in every Jobcentre in December 2018 (shaded): the rise until then shows the roll-out, not more people claiming, so the reading above starts in May 2019. DWP's Move to UC (managed migration) has also been moving people across from those benefits since 2022, so growth since then partly reflects that move, not only more people claiming. In May 2026, 36 of the 257 people on Universal Credit here, and 1,421,184 of the 7,222,784 in England, had moved across from older benefits through Move to UC (DWP marks them from August 2022). Recent months are provisional (the latest is dashed) and DWP revises them. All-age UC claimants divided by residents aged 16–64; not the percentage of working-age residents claiming.

How to read this profile
Current economic standing and historical gentrification answer different questions: an established affluent area can show little recent change. These are the latest held snapshots, not simultaneous measurements: Census employment and occupations describe March 2021. Compare each source, date and population before drawing conclusions.
The saved Affluence today model uses household income (weight 3), resale prices (2), income deprivation (3) and overall deprivation (1). Employment, occupations, child low income, benefits and amenities provide separate context and do not alter that model. Missing values are not zero. Benefits overlap and must not be added; Universal Credit includes people in work. PIP is disability support, not unemployment. NS-SEC uses current or last job and does not identify technology-sector workers. Premium venues describe local provision, not residents’ wealth.
Percentage bars share a 0–100 scale; they are not scores.
Today's characterAmong the most affluent
One of the most affluent neighbourhoods in England: household income after housing costs higher than 97% of neighbourhoods in England, and houses around £880k and flats around £270k, dearer than 90%. It is changing little against St Albans (the gentrification indication). How well off the neighbourhood is today, from 4 money measures listed in the full evidence; a label, not a score.

Explore the evidence - Anti-social behaviourWeight 1
Figures and period
Reports of anti-social behaviour changed -35% here (110 → 71) against -4% across St Albans, the 12 months to August 2026 against the 12 months to August 2024. Falling faster than across St Albans by 20 points or more counts towards rising affluence. It tends to move with recorded crime, which is counted as its own signal, so the two often agree; forces record anti-social behaviour differently, so it is compared only with the borough.

Leaves out people DWP marks as moved across from older benefits by Move to UC (36 here and 1,908 across St Albans in May 2026), whose arrival would otherwise read as more need. Rising faster than the borough counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.

Children under 16 in relative low-income families, before housing costs (DWP and HMRC, Stat-Xplore). Rising faster than the borough counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.
Households getting help with rent: March 2023 → March 2026: 162 → 198 here (+22%) against 6,933 → 7,433 across St Albans (+7%), a gap of +15 points. Housing Benefit and Universal Credit housing entitlement together, every tenure, so claims moving from one to the other are not counted as change (DWP Stat-Xplore). Rising faster than the borough counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.
Pension Credit: February 2023 → March 2026 (the nearest earlier quarter DWP publishes): 55 → 62 here (+13%) against 1,454 → 1,486 across St Albans (+2%), a gap of +11 points.

Local Council Tax Support claimants, pensioners and working age together (MHCLG), as a share of households: the borough's change, the same for every neighbourhood in it. Each council in England sets its own scheme for working-age people, so a change can also follow a change to the scheme.

Wider-area and housing context
Shown separately; not included in this saved local-change reading.
Homes improving their energy rating
Context, not counted: Selective re-certification, assessment changes, grants and the starting housing stock can change this rate without establishing rising local affluence. 41% of 75 homes re-certified in the last 3 years improved their rating, against 48% across the borough.
Borough against the region
Context, not counted: Council-wide momentum is shown separately: it does not establish change within this neighbourhood. St Albans against the East of England: prices +12% against +17% (UK House Price Index, 2017–2019 → 2023–2025); household income +33% against +34% for the typical neighbourhood (2011/12 → 2022/23); income deprivation ranks -3.7 against -1.2 percentile points of national position (2019 → 2025; up is less deprived); residents with a degree +7 against +6 points (2011 → 2021). 0 of 4 point towards rising affluence and 1 the other way, so it is keeping pace with the East of England. The same council-wide context for every neighbourhood in St Albans; shown separately from local change.
These are the years represented across the saved charts, not continuous coverage of every measure. Census ethnicity describes residents; school ethnicity describes pupils. Neither feeds this indicator. A history of this indicator itself requires comparable saved snapshots; it cannot be reconstructed from today’s balance.
How this reading is supported
3 of 20 measured signals point towards rising affluence against the borough, 2 the other way and 15 in line. Weighing each by how directly it tracks rising incomes and values (1 to 5), the balance is 0.00, on a scale from -1 (all the other way) to +1 (all rising). A reading of the signals, not a prediction.
Each signal has a weight from 1 to 5. The balance is rising weight minus falling weight, divided by all measured weight, including signals in line. Missing signals are excluded. The reading also needs several signals to agree and applies the income safeguard where relevant.

The neighbourhood in five questions
Each answer is drawn from the evidence below and says what was measured and when. Open a card's section for the charts.
Is it getting cheaper?
RisingNo: prices here have risen (flats −2% and houses +9% over three years). After inflation: flats −17% and houses −7%.
- Measured · 2025 Flats here: typical resale £272k over 2023 to 2025, −2% on 2020 to 2022 (St Albans +2%); after inflation −17%.
- Measured · 2025 Houses here: typical resale £868k over 2023 to 2025, +9% on 2020 to 2022 (St Albans +10%); after inflation −7%.
- Whole council · July 2026 Across St Albans the average price moved +2.3% in the last year (UK House Price Index, all homes).
- Whole council · August 2026 Private rents across St Albans: £1,931 a month, +2.9% in a year.
The answer is in cash, as paid; "after inflation" sets each year's price in the latest year's pounds (Consumer Prices Index, ONS). A typical price moves with which homes happened to sell, so three years are averaged.

ChangingThe mix of ages is shifting (25 to 49: 33.3% of residents in 2011, 29.2% in 2024); residents are up 8.6% since 2011.
- Estimate · 2024 Ages: 25 to 49: 33.3% of residents in 2011, 29.2% in 2024.
- Estimate · 2024 Residents: 7,888 at mid-2024. 2011: 7,261 (+8.6%). St Albans +6.9% over the same years.
- Measured · 2025/26 Pupils at nearby state schools with a first language other than English: 12.8%. St Albans's state schools: 17.5%. Pupils where they go to school, not the residents.
- Census 2021 Born outside the UK: 14% of residents. 2011: 11%. St Albans: 17%.
Yearly figures are ONS estimates and school censuses; country of birth, ethnic group and religion of all residents are counted only at the census.
See the evidence ›How is religion changing here?
ChangingBetween the 2011 and 2021 censuses: Christian fell 65% to 52%; No religion rose 24% to 37%.
- Census 2021 Christian: 75.7% in 2001, then 65% → 52% of residents (St Albans 47.4% in 2021).
- Census 2021 No religion: 15.6% in 2001, then 24% → 37% of residents (St Albans 37.1% in 2021).
- Mapped today Places of worship within 1 km: 0 churches · 0 mosques · 0 synagogues (OpenStreetMap; no opening dates, so no trend).
Religion is counted only at the census (21 March 2021; the next is 2031): nothing measures it between censuses. Fewer people left the question unanswered (7% in 2011, 6% in 2021), which lifts every other share a little.

Area scores (experimental)
Each theme is scored from 1 to 5 as a weighted average of figures shown in this report, using weights and bands from our configuration file. They describe the area, not the home, leave out anything about who lives here, and never change the assessment, the headlines or the questions. The breakdown under each score lists every input, what it scored and what was missing.
Safety
4.4out of 5
Very good
Based on 6 of 6 inputs (100% of the weight).
Experimental — weights from our config, not an official rating.
How this is worked out
Higher: less recorded crime, anti-social behaviour and possession of weapons per resident than the borough, crime not rising faster than the borough, few injury collisions near the home, and fewer dwelling fires than England's rate (in Greater Manchester, where the police publish no street-level figures, less crime across the council than England's rate). Lower: the opposite. Flood risk is a risk to the property, shown under Environment, and is not part of this score.
| Input | In this report | Score | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crime per resident against the boroughPolice.uk crimes, excluding anti-social behaviour, per Census 2021 resident in the neighbourhood over the last 12 months, divided by the borough's rate. Busy centres count many visitors against few residents. | 24 here · 65 St AlbansScored on 0.37× the borough rate | 5 | 3 |

| Possession of weapons per resident against the boroughPolice.uk possession of weapons offences over the three years of the archive (counts are small) per Census 2021 resident in the neighbourhood, divided by the borough's rate. Bands are about the 20th, 40th, 60th and 80th percentiles of the 6,577 neighbourhoods in the 2026-08 crime build (median 0.79). Optional: Greater Manchester and British Transport Police publish no street-level figures, so there it is left out.

| Recorded crime trend against the boroughThe area change dial's crime signal: 'up' (4) when crime fell at least 10 points faster here than across the borough, 'down' (2) when it rose at least 10 points faster, in line (3) otherwise. A trend, so it moves the score less than the level. | Recorded crime changed +6% here against +12% across the borough. Falling faster than the borough counts towards rising affluence; rising faster counts against. | 3 | 1 |
| Injury collisions within 250 mPolice-reported injury collisions within 250 m over the last five years (STATS19; PSNI in Northern Ireland). Counts, not rates: busy roads have more. | 6 | 3 | 2 |
| Dwelling fires per 1,000 homes against EnglandFires in homes attended by fire and rescue services in the neighbourhood over three years (MHCLG incident-level data, England only), per Census 2021 household, divided by England's rate. Bands are about the 20th, 40th, 60th and 80th percentiles (0.54 / 0.77 / 1.01 / 1.40) of 6,766 English neighbourhoods, April 2023 to March 2026; Suffolk's 90 neighbourhoods are not held for 2024/25.

Weighted average: (3×5 + 2×5 + 1×5 + 1×3 + 2×3 + 1×5) ÷ 10 = 4.4. Inputs without a value are left out, never counted as zero; the theme needs at least 60% of its weight and 2 inputs with a value.

Travel
3.7out of 5
Good
Based on 4 of 4 inputs (100% of the weight).
Experimental — weights from our config, not an official rating.
How this is worked out
Higher: a station and buses close by, good public transport access (London), a commute well within your limit, an airport within reach, public car parks mapped near the home, and no residents' parking zone or driving charge zone at the home. Lower: the opposite.
| Input | In this report | Score | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nearest stationStraight-line distance in metres to the nearest Tube or rail station (TfL, London) or rail, Underground, metro or tram stop (NaPTAN, elsewhere). | Harpenden Rail Station · 1.5 km | 3 | 3 |
| Buses within 400 mIn London, the distinct TfL bus routes at stops within 400 m (about a 5-minute walk); elsewhere, the bus stops within 400 m (NaPTAN), which says nothing about how often buses run. | 7 | 4 | 2 |
| Nearest airportStraight-line distance in metres to the nearest airport with scheduled passenger flights. | London Luton Airport · 6.1 km | 5 | 1 |
| Public car parks mapped within 500 mHow many public car parks (no restriction recorded on the map; customers-only, permit and street-side parking not counted) OpenStreetMap maps within 500 m, in a straight line to the middle of each, as the car parks row in Getting to work counts them (owner, 6 October 2026: "it will feed a score"). None mapped within 500 m is a reading of the map once the import holds car parks, so it scores 1; before the import ("Not available yet") or when it cannot be read it is not scored. Volunteers' mapping is incomplete, so a low count can mean car parks not yet mapped. Bands from the national spread: every tenth of Great Britain's postcodes in OS Code-Point Open (August 2026), 174,823 of them, against the car parks the import keeps from the UK extract of 5 October 2026 (151,622 public): no car park 24% of postcodes (scores 1), 1 car park 16% (2), 2 or 3 21% (3), 4 to 7 20% (4), 8 or more 20% (5), so the cut points 1, 2, 4 and 8 sit at about the 24th, 40th, 60th and 80th percentiles (the 20th is 0). Northern Ireland is not in Code-Point Open. | 5 public car parks mapped | 4 | 1 |
Weighted average: (3×3 + 2×4 + 1×5 + 1×4) ÷ 7 = 3.7. Inputs without a value are left out, never counted as zero; the theme needs at least 60% of its weight and 2 inputs with a value.
Not part of this score here: Public transport access level (London) (TfL's PTAL covers Greater London only); Your commute against your limit (Only when you give a workplace and a maximum journey time); Residents' parking permit zone (Does not apply here); Driving charge or emission zone (Only where a mapped charging, clean air, low or zero emission zone is in the home's council or within about 2 km; a zone whose boundary is not published or not loaded, or within about 100 m of Oxford's Zero Emission Zone (published as its streets, not an area), is never scored).
Gentrification
3.2out of 5
In line with the borough
Based on 14 of 15 inputs (95% of the weight).
Experimental — weights from our config, not an official rating.
How this is worked out
Higher: more of the area change signals point towards rising affluence against the borough; 3 is in line with the borough; lower points the other way. It describes change around the home: it is not a verdict on the home or a prediction. The plain-language gentrification indication in 'How the area is changing' is worked out separately and does not use this score.
Weighted average: (2×3 + 2×5 + 2×3 + 1×3 + 1×3 + 1×3 + 2×3 + 1×3 + 1×3 + 1×3 + 1×3 + 1×3 + 1×3 + 1×3) ÷ 18 = 3.2. Inputs without a value are left out, never counted as zero; the theme needs at least 60% of its weight and 4 inputs with a value.
Not part of this score here: New independent cafés and restaurants (Shown only where food premises are tracked).
Neighbourhood
3.9out of 5
Good
Based on 15 of 16 inputs (90% of the weight).
Experimental — weights from our config, not an official rating.
How this is worked out
Higher: parks, well-rated schools, a supermarket, a GP and an A&E close by, allotments, community centres and libraries within a walk, with quieter roads, few late-night venues mapped nearby and cleaner air; and, where measured, higher ground than most of the council's homes, a roof that could make more solar electricity, a garden facing south, no public right of way across the plot, no landlord licensing area, no roadworks planned within 100 m, no sewage works, waste site or intensive farm close by, and a street where homes are owned for longer than across the council. Lower: the opposite.
| Input | In this report | Score | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nearest public parkStraight-line distance in metres to the nearest mapped entrance of a public park or garden (OS Open Greenspace). | Unnamed park · 304 m | 4 | 2 |
| Parks within 1 km | 2 | 3 | 1 |
| Height of the ground among the council's homesThe share of the council's homes standing on lower ground than this home (0 to 100), from the Height above sea level row in Everyday life: OS Terrain 50's ground height at the home's point against a ladder of the council's homes (Census 2021 households at output area centres in England and Wales; NRS occupied homes by data zone in Scotland). Higher ground is a preference some buyers have (views, drainage); it is not a flood figure: flood risk is its own section and is never read here. A share spreads evenly over each council's homes by construction, so the bands 20, 40, 60 and 80 put a fifth of the homes in each score: on the national build of 7 October 2026 (OS Terrain 50 July 2026, 196,272 output areas and data zones, 27.4 million homes) 19.9%, 20.0%, 20.0%, 20.0% and 20.1% of homes score 1 to 5.

| Road noise by dayModelled daytime road noise at the home in dB (Defra strategic noise maps). The bands follow the report's words: 50 dB or less scores 5 (quiet below 50, including below the maps' 40 dB cutoff), up to 55 scores 4 (moderate), up to 60 scores 3 and up to 65 scores 2 (noticeable from 55, high from 63), above 65 scores 1. | 52.3 dB · moderate | 4 | 2 |
| Late-night venues within 200 mNightclubs, and bars and pubs whose opening hours as mapped run past midnight, within 200 m on OpenStreetMap (the figure in Environmental checks, Noise). None mapped scores 5; it is not scored before the map data holds these places or when it cannot be read. Volunteers map few opening hours (about 15% of pubs and 18% of bars), so a small count can mean hours not yet mapped. Bands from every Great Britain postcode (OS Code-Point Open, 1,748,230) against the UK map of 3 October 2026: none within 200 m 96.5% of postcodes (scores 5), 1 2.2% (4), 2 or 3 0.9% (3), 4 to 6 0.3% (2), more than 6 0.1% (1).

| Years homes are owned before resale, against the councilHow long homes on the home's street (the street of that name in its place, the locality HM Land Registry records or else the town, within its postcode district; its postcode sector when the street has fewer than 10 resale pairs) are usually owned before they are sold again: the median gap between two sales of the same address since 1995 (HM Land Registry Price Paid Data), divided by the council's median. Higher: homes here are kept longer than across the council. It describes how long homes are kept, not who lives here. Too few resales (under 10 pairs in the street and in its sector) are never scored. Bands are the 20th, 40th, 60th and 80th percentiles of the 340,233 streets in England and Wales with 10 or more resale pairs whose pairs all fall in one council, each against that council's median (build of 7 October 2026 from the Price Paid publication of 28 August 2026): 0.82, 0.95, 1.08 and 1.27.

Scored only when all three are held for the home: before the monthly import holds community centres ("Not available yet") and in Northern Ireland (no OS Open Greenspace) it is left out, never 0; a measured 0 scores 1. Volunteers' mapping is incomplete, so a low count can mean places not yet mapped. Bands from the national spread: every tenth of Great Britain's postcodes in OS Code-Point Open (174,797 of them) against OS Open Greenspace (April 2026, 13,778 allotment sites), the community centres the import keeps from the UK extract of 5 October 2026 (16,611) and the 2,987 open libraries on Arts Council England's list (3,879 OpenStreetMap libraries for Wales and Scotland): none within 1 km 15.5% of postcodes (scores 1), 1 place 15.3% (2), 2 or 3 28.3% (3), 4 or 5 19.0% (4), 6 or more 21.8% (5), so the cut points 1, 2, 4 and 6 sit at the 20th, 40th, 60th and 80th percentiles (median 3). | An allotment site; no community centre mapped and no public library listed | 2 | 1 |

No section 114 notice, exceptional financial support, council tax rise above the usual limit or government intervention recorded for St Albans (list reviewed 26 September 2026: section 114 notices since 2020, exceptional support and council tax limits for 2024-25 to 2026-27, and current government interventions). A list of official decisions, not a judgement of the council's finances.
- Plot sizeChoose the home
The title extent is found at the home's own point: choose its exact address or its building on the map. A postcode centre could sit on any plot, so none is given for it.
- Garden facesNot measured
Not measured: the garden is worked out at the home's own point. Choose its exact address or its building on the map; a postcode centre could sit on any plot.

Registered titles with the postcode AL5 4DD whose first owner is of this kind (UK companies list).
- About company-owned titlesSector AL5 4
In the postcode sector AL5 4: 246 held by UK companies and 1 by overseas companies. Titles owned by individuals and charities are not in these lists, and HM Land Registry does not publish how many titles each postcode has, so this is a count, not a share; one title can cover many homes. The lists carry no property reference number and their address lines may not be used for matching, so whether this home itself is company-owned is not shown.
- Public rights of wayNot measured
Rights of way are checked against the home's own plot: choose its exact address or its building on the map. A postcode centre could sit on any plot, so nothing is measured for it.
Public rights of way (GOV.UK) - Mortgage possession claims in St Albans, year to June 20267.6 per 10,000 owner-occupier households (England 13)
32 claims by mortgage lenders in the year from July 2025 to June 2026 (36 in the year before). In the same year 30 orders for possession (outright or suspended), 27 warrants and 4 repossessions by county court bailiffs. England: 19,551 claims, 13 per 10,000 (our sum of its councils; claims whose council could not be identified are left out). Per 10,000 owner-occupier households (owned outright, with a mortgage or loan, or in shared ownership) at the 2021 census. Many claims end without the home being repossessed. Counted by the defendant's address: the council where the borrower lives, which is not necessarily the property, and for the whole council, never this street. Source: Ministry of Justice, Mortgage and landlord possession statistics, April to June 2026 (the latest quarter is provisional); the rates are our own.
- Landlord possession claims in St Albans, year to June 202689 per 10,000 rented households (England 100)
150 claims by landlords in the year from July 2025 to June 2026 (174 in the year before): 54 by social landlords, 34 by private landlords and 62 by the accelerated procedure. In the same year 123 orders for possession (outright or suspended), 77 warrants and 44 repossessions by county court bailiffs. England: 88,300 claims, 100 per 10,000 (our sum of its councils; claims whose council could not be identified are left out). Per 10,000 households renting from a social or private landlord at the 2021 census. The accelerated procedure, in the Ministry of Justice's words, is quicker than a normal eviction and does not usually need a court hearing. Counted by the defendant's address: the council where the tenant lives, which is not necessarily the property, and for the whole council, never this street.

England: 1.5 bankruptcies, 9.6 debt relief orders and 14.6 individual voluntary arrangements. Counted by the postcode each person gave, for the whole council, never this street; rates per 10,000 residents aged 18 and over, as the Insolvency Service publishes them.

- Homes on Bloomfield Road in Harpenden are usually owned for about 8 years before they are sold againAbout 8 years (St Albans: about 6 years)
HM Land Registry, resales since 1995, Bloomfield Road in Harpenden (the only street recorded in AL5 4DD), AL5. Each sale of an address (the same postcode, house number or name, flat and street) is paired with the sale of that address before it, and the median of those gaps is shown: a median of 8.4 years over 43 resale pairs of 31 homes; the middle half came 3.1 to 11.2 years after the sale before. The street is counted in its place (the locality HM Land Registry records, else the town), so streets of the same name elsewhere in AL5 are kept apart. St Albans: about 6 years (median 5.7 years, 39,624 pairs). Left out: a new home's first sale as the start of a pair (HM Land Registry marks new builds), two sales of an address on the same day, and other kinds of property. Sales to companies, repossessions and buy-to-let purchases count as sales from October 2013, when HM Land Registry began recording them. Homes kept longer than the records go back, or never sold again, are not counted, so these are the gaps of homes that were sold again; a home whose address was written differently at its two sales is not paired. It describes how long homes are kept, not who lives here. HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, published 28 August 2026.

- Public transport connectivity
- 74 of 100 · better connected than 63% of St Albans neighbourhoods (median 70.1)
How easily people here can reach jobs, schools and colleges, healthcare, shops, leisure and other homes by public transport, on DfT's scale from 0 to 100 (higher is better connected), worked out from the timetables of October to December 2024. This small area scores 74.1; against the 88 small areas (neighbourhoods of about 1,500 residents) in St Albans, the median is 70.1 and the range 43.3 to 89.5. DfT publishes it as Experimental Statistics: read it against other areas, not as a journey time.

DfT’s published combined overall score across transport modes, not an average calculated by this report. DfT Transport Connectivity Metric, Experimental Statistics, October to December 2024. The dot is this small area; the bar is the range of St Albans’s small areas with a published score for this measure, darker for the middle half, with the median marked. Scores compare areas, not journey times. Different transport modes should not be directly compared.
- By bus or train at 7am
- GP 20 min · hospital in this neighbourhood · secondary school in this neighbourhood · St Albans medians 20 · 30 · 16
Trips shorter than the St Albans median to a hospital, a primary school and a secondary school; longer to a pharmacy; about the same to a GP and a supermarket. Also: primary school in this neighbourhood (St Albans median 8), supermarket 20 min (St Albans median 22), pharmacy 20 min (St Albans median 12). St Albans medians are our own figures: the middle value across its 88 neighbourhoods as UBDC published them (2011 boundaries). Modelled by the Urban Big Data Centre (University of Glasgow, AI23): door-to-door trips by bus, tram, train or on foot, leaving at 7am on a weekday with early-2023 timetables, from the neighbourhood's population-weighted centre to the nearest place of each kind. Not this front door: a home at the edge of the neighbourhood may be quicker or slower, and places may have opened or closed since: UBDC's lists of places can miss some, so check the nearest schools, GPs and shops by distance in their own sections. "In this neighbourhood" means UBDC places the nearest one inside it (0 minutes in its figures).
- Jobs within 45 minutes by bus or train
- about 90,000 · St Albans median 59,000
Jobs reachable leaving at 7am on a weekday: within 30 minutes about 28,000 (St Albans median 19,000), within an hour about 211,000 (St Albans median 171,000). UBDC counts jobs by small area from ONS employment data; each small area's jobs count once it is reachable. St Albans medians are our own figures: the middle value across its 88 neighbourhoods as UBDC published them (2011 boundaries). Modelled for early-2023 timetables from the neighbourhood's population-weighted centre, not this front door. Shown for context, not counted.

Straight-line distances, nearest first; passengers are arrivals and departures in 2024 (DfT aviation statistics, from Civil Aviation Authority data). Airports in the United Kingdom with scheduled passenger flights; small island airstrips that do not report to the Civil Aviation Authority (Orkney and Shetland inter-island, Coll, Colonsay, Oban, Tresco) and airports in the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and the Republic of Ireland are not included.

DfT's public transport scores for each kind of trip; health is GPs, hospitals and other healthcare, leisure includes community venues, residential measures access to other homes.
- Walking, cycling and drivingWalking 66 · Cycling 71 · Driving 88
Walking 66.5 (St Albans median 66.2); Cycling 71.2 (St Albans median 71.4); Driving 87.7 (St Albans median 88.0). Each mode is scored on its own scale: in DfT's words, "Different transport modes should not be directly compared", so a walking score above the public transport score does not mean walking is the better way to travel.
- About the connectivity scoresExperimental Statistics
The Department for Transport's Transport Connectivity Metric (first published September 2025) scores every small area in England and Wales from 0 to 100 on the value of the places people can reach and how easily, using journey planning on the transport networks and timetables of October to December 2024. DfT publishes it as Experimental Statistics and says the scores should be interpreted relative to other areas. It is not a journey time: it assumes services run as timetabled, and says nothing about reliability, crowding or disruption. Services may have changed since 2024. The comparison with St Albans uses the small areas under the council today.

- Bus routes near the home3 routes: 321, 610, 366
321 (Arriva Beds and Bucks): 7.3 an hour; 610 (Uno): 3.9 an hour; 366 (Centrebus): 2 between 07:00 and 19:00. Both directions together, weekday daytime.
- About the bus countsMay be out of date
Departures timetabled on Tuesday 29 September 2026, the next ordinary weekday (a Tuesday to Thursday outside bank holidays and Christmas), from stops within 400 m of the home in a straight line (about a 5-minute walk). Each route and direction is counted once, at the nearby stop it serves most, so a bus passing two nearby stops counts once; journeys that end at a nearby stop, and stops where a bus only sets down, are not counted. Timetables do not mark school-day services, which can bunch several buses into one or two hours in villages, so the quietest daytime hour is shown beside the average. They are as the operators registered them, not live running, and can change in school holidays. Bus Open Data Service timetables built on 27/09/2026, read 2026-09-27. These timetables were read for Tuesday 29 September 2026 and may be out of date: the weekly job has not refreshed them.

Spaces are not recorded for any of them; free is recorded for 2 and neither for 3. By kind: 5 surface. Nearest: a surface car park about 330 m away (charge not recorded); a surface car park about 360 m away (charge not recorded). Also mapped within 500 m: 1 for customers only. Counted apart, as parking along a road rather than car parks: 3 street-side parking areas. Public means no restriction is recorded on the map; private car parks, lock-up garages and carports are left out, and spaces are never added up (most car parks have none recorded). Distances are in a straight line to the middle of each car park as mapped, so a large one can start nearer. Whether this street needs a resident's permit is not in national open data: see the questions to ask. © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), mapped by volunteers, extract of 6 October 2026.

The home is inside the area London Luton's official noise map covers, but below its lowest mapped level (40 dB Lden, 35 dB at night), modelled for 2021. That is below the 55 dB Lden from which airport noise action plans apply. Planes can still be heard, especially under arrival and departure routes, and 2021 had far fewer flights than usual because of Covid travel restrictions, so noise now is likely to be higher.

- Environment Agency main river
- None within 1 km
Works in, over, under or within 8 m of a main river (16 m if tidal) need a flood risk activity permit from the Environment Agency, which matters for extensions, walls and outbuildings.
- Late-night venues within 200 m
- None mapped
None mapped within 200 m: no nightclub, and no bar or pub mapped as open past midnight, on OpenStreetMap (extract of 6 October 2026). Mapping of opening hours is incomplete, so this is not proof there are none. The FSA food hygiene register lists no pub, bar or nightclub within 200 m (latest extract 20 October 2026; it records no opening hours).
- Overhead power lines and pylons
- None recorded within 500 m
No overhead line or pylon is recorded within 500 m in Ordnance Survey's map of overhead lines on pylons (Great Britain; no voltage given) and UK Power Networks' 132 kV and 33 kV overhead lines. This home is in UK Power Networks' East England area (approximate boundaries). Not covered: National Grid's own maps of its transmission lines, pylons and substations (they may not be used commercially; its lines on pylons are in Ordnance Survey's map) and lower-voltage local lines and poles (11 kV and below). This describes these datasets only; it is not evidence that there are none.
- Coal mining
- Outside the coal mining reporting area
No coal mining risk area is recorded at the address point. Other ground risks (subsidence, clay shrinkage, other mining) are not checked here.
- Radon (indicative)
- 3–5% of homes above the action level
About 3–5% of homes in this 1 km square (grid square TL1215) are estimated to be at or above the radon action level (200 Bq/m³). This is a radon Affected Area, where UKHSA advises testing every home. Each square takes the highest class found anywhere within it, so this is indicative and can overstate this home's area; it is not a measurement. Only a test shows the level in a home; UKHSA's validated testing service is at https://www.ukradon.org/. Ask the seller whether the home has been tested and whether radon protection (a membrane or a sump) is fitted; basements and cellars carry extra risk.

- Long-term flood zone (rivers and sea) · postcode centreOutside Zones 2 and 3
At the postcode centre; the exact home has not been selected. No Flood Zone 2 or 3 is mapped within about 10 metres of the postcode centre, which the Environment Agency treats as Flood Zone 1: less than a 0.1% annual chance from rivers and sea.
- Surface water flood risk (heavy rainfall) · postcode centreVery low
At the postcode centre; the exact home has not been selected. Environment Agency Risk of Flooding from Surface Water: less than 0.1% (1 in 1,000) each year. This is where rain cannot drain away quickly enough; it is separate from river and sea flooding and is the most common kind of flooding in England. It describes the area around the postcode centre, not the building itself; ask about past flooding, and check insurance quotes before exchange.
- Surface water depth, speed and hazard · postcode centreOutside the mapped floods
At the postcode centre; the exact home has not been selected. The Environment Agency's maps put no surface water on the land within about 10 m of the point even in a flood with a 1 in 1,000 (0.1%) chance each year (the Very low band), so there is no depth, speed or hazard to show. This is a model of the area, not a guarantee: ask about past flooding.
- Surface water by the 2050s (climate change) · postcode centreVery low
At the postcode centre; the exact home has not been selected. The Environment Agency's climate change scenario for 2040–2060 (UKCP18, RCP8.5 central allowances): less than 0.1% (1 in 1,000) each year (today: very low).
- Surface water: further layersUnavailable
The Environment Agency's surface water model could not be checked just now; they are asked again on a later visit. This is not evidence of low risk.
- Flood risk from rivers and sea, with defences · postcode centreVery low
At the postcode centre; the exact home has not been selected. Environment Agency Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea (national assessment, 2025): less than 0.1% (1 in 1,000) each year. Unlike the planning flood zones, it counts flood defences and their condition; defences can still be overtopped or fail.
- Flood risk from rivers and sea by the 2050s (with defences) · postcode centreVery low
At the postcode centre; the exact home has not been selected. Environment Agency Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea, climate change scenario for the 2050s: less than 0.1% (1 in 1,000) each year, taking flood defences into account. The same band as today. A projection, not a forecast for this home. Read from FloodRadar's copy of the map (edition June 2026), for the point and about 12 m round it.
- Flood risk reduced by defences here · postcode centreNone mapped
At the postcode centre; the exact home has not been selected. The Environment Agency maps no reduction in rivers and sea flood risk from defences at this point or within about 12 m of it. That is what its map records, not a survey of every local defence. Environment Agency, Reduction in Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea due to Defences (edition December 2023), read from FloodRadar's copy.
- Rivers and sea: properties in this postcodeNone in a risk area
The Environment Agency's Postcodes in Areas at Risk (June 2026) lists each postcode with a property in a rivers and sea risk area (very low included). AL5 4DD is not among them: it is counted with the other postcodes beginning AL5 4D (181 properties), none of which is in a risk area. None recorded is not a guarantee; the check at the point is the EA's map at this spot.
- Noise (Defra strategic noise maps, 2022)Road 52.3 dB · moderate · Rail Below 40 dB (quiet)
LAeq,16h daytime and Lnight levels modelled on a 10 m grid 4 m above ground. "Quiet" means below 50 dB by day or 40 dB at night, under the lowest levels UK planning practice and the WHO treat as having an adverse effect; "moderate" runs up to 55 dB by day or 47 dB at night and "noticeable" from there. "High" means at or above 63 dB by day or 55 dB at night, around the levels UK planning practice treats as a significant adverse effect. The side of a building facing the road is usually louder than the back. Aircraft noise is shown separately; industry and neighbours are not included.
- Air quality (Defra modelled background, 2024)Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) 8.9 · Fine particles (PM2.5) 7.3 · Particles (PM10) 12.3 µg/m³
Annual mean for the 1 km square around the address. Background levels leave out the extra pollution right beside a busy road, which can be much higher.
- Sewage works, waste sites and intensive farms within 500 mNone on the registers checked
None on the registers checked within 500 m (as of 7 October 2026). The nearest is a waste treatment or storage site about 1.9 km away (EA permit register, 7 October 2026). Sewage treatment works are not included yet: the Environment Agency's terms for its register of discharges are being confirmed. Distances are straight lines to the point each register gives for the site, not to its boundary. A permit says what a site may do, not whether it can be smelt or heard from the home: ask neighbours, and the council's environmental health team about complaints.
- Power network data checked3 sources
This home is in UK Power Networks' East England area (approximate boundaries). Checked: Ordnance Survey's map of overhead lines on pylons (Great Britain; no voltage given), UK Power Networks' 132 kV and 33 kV overhead lines and UK Power Networks' grid and primary substations. Not covered: National Grid's own maps of its transmission lines, pylons and substations (they may not be used commercially; its lines on pylons are in Ordnance Survey's map) and lower-voltage local lines and poles (11 kV and below). Distances are straight lines from the address point.
- Fire and rescue incidents in this neighbourhood, 3 years to March 202614 fires
Fires attended by fire and rescue services in this neighbourhood (St Albans 001) from April 2023 to March 2026: 5 fires in homes, 0 fires in other buildings, 2 road vehicle fires, 2 larger outdoor fires, 1 chimney fire, 4 small outdoor fires (rubbish, grass and the like; 4 started deliberately). Fires in homes each year: 2023/24: 1, 2024/25: 4, 2025/26: 0. Small counts move a lot from year to year. Per 1,000 homes over the three years: fires in homes 1.7 here, 2.1 across St Albans and 3.3 across England. Each incident is placed by MHCLG in its 2021 small area; incidents whose small area is not known are left out of every count, England's included. England's count includes the incidents Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service could submit for 2024/25 (not all from September 2024 to March 2025).

- Crimes per 1,000 residents (last 12 months)
- 24 here · 65 St Albans
East of England 71 · England 84 (273 of 296 council areas). Police.uk crimes excluding anti-social behaviour, Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, per Census 2021 resident; every area counts the same months, crimes and police forces. Town centres, stations and shopping streets have high counts for their population because many visitors pass through.
- Change over two years, this neighbourhood
- 176 → 187 (+6%) vs St Albans +12%
Police.uk street-level records in St Albans 001, the 12 months to August 2024 against the 12 months to August 2026 (Sep 2023 to Aug 2024; Sep 2025 to Aug 2026). Over the same months: East of England +2%, England (273 of 296 council areas) -1%. Counts, not rates: population change is unknown between these years. Changes in recording or policing can move these figures as much as real change.
- Anti-social behaviour per 1,000 residents (last 12 months)
- 9 here · 16 St Albans
Police.uk reports of anti-social behaviour (noise, nuisance, rowdiness), Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, per Census 2021 resident; not counted as crime. Forces record it differently, so it is compared only with the borough.
- Crimes charged or taken to court
- 3% here · 7% St Albans
Latest 12 months. Recent crimes are often still under investigation, so this share rises as cases conclude.
- Theft from the person per 1,000 residents (last 12 months)
- 0.1 here · 0.6 St Albans
1 recorded thefts from the person here in Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, per 1,000 Census 2021 residents against the borough. Property taken from someone without force or threats: pickpocketing, bag and phone snatching. Police.uk does not say what was taken, so phones are not counted apart, and a snatch with force or threats is recorded as robbery. Busy streets, stations and nightlife count many visitors against few residents.
- Bicycle theft per 1,000 residents (last 12 months)
- 0.4 here · 0.8 St Albans
3 recorded bicycle thefts here in Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, per 1,000 Census 2021 residents against the borough. Bicycles stolen, as recorded by the police; many thefts are never reported. Busy stations and town centres, where many people leave bikes, count them against few residents.
- Possession of weapons per 1,000 residents (3 years)
- 0.3 here · 1.5 St Albans
2 recorded here from September 2023 to August 2026 (221 across St Albans), per 1,000 Census 2021 residents against the borough. Police.uk's category for possessing a weapon such as a knife or a firearm; an offence in which a weapon is used is counted under its own type, such as violence or robbery. Counts are small, so all 3 years of the Police.uk archive are counted together. Not held for these months: British Transport Police's records (crimes on the railway).
- CCTV cameras mapped within 250 m
- None · nearest 1.4 km · 1 in AL5
The nearest is traffic, number plate or speed camera, about 1.4 km away in a straight line. None is mapped within 500 m. In the AL5 postcode district 1 is mapped: 1 traffic, number plate or speed camera. As mapped on OpenStreetMap by volunteers, 6 October 2026. Councils publish few camera positions and the police none, so more cameras exist than are mapped.

The Lea Primary School and Nursery — pupils, 2019/20
Primary school, 0.87 km from the home. DfE school census, January 2020 (2019/20 school year). Counts and percentages of all pupils at this school; borough comparison covers state primary and secondary schools with published totals. Missing or suppressed categories are unavailable, never zero; incomplete borough categories are unavailable. Free school meal eligibility is the census eligibility measure, not meals taken on census day or the performance-tables measure. Boys and girls use the recorded pupil gender; their published counts may not exhaust the pupil total. These, ethnic groups and first languages are separate breakdowns. Pupils are counted where they attend school, not where they live. First language does not measure proficiency in English.

Wood End School — pupils, 2025/26
Primary school, 1.16 km from the home. DfE school census, January 2026 (2025/26 school year). Counts and percentages of all pupils at this school; borough comparison covers state primary and secondary schools with published totals. Missing or suppressed categories are unavailable, never zero; incomplete borough categories are unavailable. Free school meal eligibility is the census eligibility measure, not meals taken on census day or the performance-tables measure. Boys and girls use the recorded pupil sex. These, ethnic groups and first languages are separate breakdowns. Pupils are counted where they attend school, not where they live. First language does not measure proficiency in English.

Wood End School — pupils, 2018/19
Primary school, 1.16 km from the home. DfE school census, January 2019 (2018/19 school year). Counts and percentages of all pupils at this school; borough comparison covers state primary and secondary schools with published totals. Missing or suppressed categories are unavailable, never zero; incomplete borough categories are unavailable. Free school meal eligibility is the census eligibility measure, not meals taken on census day or the performance-tables measure. Boys and girls use the recorded pupil gender; their published counts may not exhaust the pupil total. These, ethnic groups and first languages are separate breakdowns. Pupils are counted where they attend school, not where they live. First language does not measure proficiency in English.

Manland Primary School — pupils, 2025/26
Primary school, 1.17 km from the home. DfE school census, January 2026 (2025/26 school year). Counts and percentages of all pupils at this school; borough comparison covers state primary and secondary schools with published totals. Missing or suppressed categories are unavailable, never zero; incomplete borough categories are unavailable. Free school meal eligibility is the census eligibility measure, not meals taken on census day or the performance-tables measure. Boys and girls use the recorded pupil sex. These, ethnic groups and first languages are separate breakdowns. Pupils are counted where they attend school, not where they live. First language does not measure proficiency in English.

Manland Primary School — pupils, 2017/18
Primary school, 1.17 km from the home. DfE school census, January 2018 (2017/18 school year). Counts and percentages of all pupils at this school; borough comparison covers state primary and secondary schools with published totals. Missing or suppressed categories are unavailable, never zero; incomplete borough categories are unavailable. Free school meal eligibility is the census eligibility measure, not meals taken on census day or the performance-tables measure. Boys and girls use the recorded pupil gender; their published counts may not exhaust the pupil total. These, ethnic groups and first languages are separate breakdowns. Pupils are counted where they attend school, not where they live. First language does not measure proficiency in English.

Sir John Lawes School — pupils, 2017/18
Secondary school, 1.32 km from the home. DfE school census, January 2018 (2017/18 school year). Counts and percentages of all pupils at this school; borough comparison covers state primary and secondary schools with published totals. Missing or suppressed categories are unavailable, never zero; incomplete borough categories are unavailable. Free school meal eligibility is the census eligibility measure, not meals taken on census day or the performance-tables measure. Boys and girls use the recorded pupil gender; their published counts may not exhaust the pupil total. These, ethnic groups and first languages are separate breakdowns. Pupils are counted where they attend school, not where they live. First language does not measure proficiency in English.

Colour: latest inspection (green well rated, amber a warning, grey no current grade). Ofsted has given state schools no single overall grade since September 2024: later inspections grade each area instead. What each school is (type, faith where it has a recorded religious character, boys or girls, ages, pupils and places) is from Get Information about Schools; nothing is taken from a school's name. Straight-line distance: not a catchment or admissions guide.

- Schools getting better against St AlbansNet +38 vs +11 points · primary -2.1 vs +4.4 · GCSE +0.5 vs +0.7
The state primary schools within 1.5 km and secondary schools within 3 km against every such school in St Albans (63). Ofsted: each school's last inspection within 5 years of Ofsted's latest file (30 September 2026), against the graded inspection before it; the net share is those that improved minus those that declined, as a share of those compared. An ungraded inspection counts by Ofsted's own words ("Improved significantly" improved; "School remains Good" no change; "Some aspects not as strong" declined). From September 2024 Ofsted gave four key judgements and no overall grade: each is compared with the one before, or with the previous overall grade when the inspection before had none. Ofsted's report cards (from November 2025) are a new framework: a school whose last inspection is its first report card is not compared. Results: the change between the first and last of the three years kept, the share meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of primary school and Attainment 8 at GCSE, weighted by each school's pupils on roll; only schools with results in both years under their own URN (an academy that converted meanwhile starts a new record). A gap of 30 points in the net share of schools improving, 5 points in primary results or 2 in Attainment 8 against the council counts (data/reference/schools-improving.json).

State primary schools within 1.5 km and secondary schools within 3 km of the home, each January (DfE school census): 6,861 pupils in 2025/26, counted where they go to school, not where they live. Pupils at state schools only, not the residents; independent schools are not in it. The line follows the same 9 school URNs with published totals in every held year, out of 10 schools with data in the latest year. Schools are selected using today's locations and school types; schools that closed or changed URN are not linked to successors. This is a school cohort, not the same pupils. Unheld years and incomplete ethnic-group counts are gaps, never zero. The 2020/21 Arab category is included in Other for comparability.

Moves per 1,000 residents in each year to 30 June (mid-2011 to mid-2025), against the population at the start of the year. Rest of UK: moves between council areas, including to and from Scotland and Northern Ireland. Abroad: people arriving or leaving for a year or more. These are ONS estimates (release MYE25, published 29 July 2026); ONS revises earlier years between releases. They count moves, not people, and say nothing about nationality or ethnicity.

Share of residents in St Albans 001 at three census observations on unchanged neighbourhood boundaries. Source: ONS Census 2001 KS006 via Nomis, and Census 2011/2021. Chinese is included in Asian at all three dates; other White groups are combined, and Arab is combined with Other in later years. Arab and Gypsy/Irish Traveller tick boxes first appeared in 2011, Roma in 2021: none is separately estimated for 2001. Changed questions and self-identification limit comparisons. Counts use the published total, with disclosure adjustment; this shows changes in the mix, not who moved in or out.

Share of residents by religion in St Albans 001 at the 2001, 2011 and 2021 censuses, the only times religion is counted (the next is 2031). Drawn because this neighbourhood's boundary is the same at all three. The question is voluntary: the share who did not answer moves from census to census and moves every other share with it. Three counts ten years apart show how the mix changed, not who moved in or out.

Separate DfE January school-census series for pupils of compulsory school age and above, using 5 matched current school URNs. Published denominators are rounded to the nearest 5, so shares are approximate and may not add to 100%. Suppressed or unheld counts remain gaps; no suppressed count is reconstructed. The all-age series starts in 2017/18 and is not joined to this line. Current school locations and types define this cohort; these are not the same pupils over time and not neighbourhood residents.

Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first month after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); 2: August 2022, the first month DWP marks people moved across from older benefits by Move to UC. People on Universal Credit on the second Thursday of each month (May 2013 to May 2026), all ages, as a share of residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base: population change since 2021 is not reflected. Neighbourhood: St Albans 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021). Universal Credit has been replacing six older benefits (income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, income-related Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Housing Benefit, Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit) since 2013. It was rolled out area by area until it took new claims in every Jobcentre in December 2018 (shaded): the rise until then shows the roll-out, not more people claiming, so the reading above starts in May 2019. DWP's Move to UC (managed migration) has also been moving people across from those benefits since 2022, so growth since then partly reflects that move, not only more people claiming. In May 2026, 36 of the 257 people on Universal Credit here, and 1,421,184 of the 7,222,784 in England, had moved across from older benefits through Move to UC (DWP marks them from August 2022). Recent months are provisional (the latest is dashed) and DWP revises them.

Children under 16 in relative low-income families (before housing costs) in each financial year, as a share of residents aged 0 to 15 at the 2021 census, a fixed base. DWP definitions: a child is in relative low income when their family's income before housing costs, adjusted for the size and make-up of the household, is below 60% of the median that year; income includes earnings, state support and pensions. Only families claiming Child Benefit and at least one other household benefit (Universal Credit, tax credits or Housing Benefit) are counted. Stat-Xplore holds these figures from 2021/22 on 2021 boundaries; DWP's earlier years (from 2014/15) were published on older boundaries and are not connected. Neighbourhood: St Albans 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021). Ward figures are in the row below: no count of all children by ward is loaded, so the ward is not drawn as a share.

Households getting help with rent through Housing Benefit or Universal Credit's housing element, every tenure (social, private and not recorded), in March each year from 2019, as a share of households at the 2021 census, a fixed base. The two are added together because working-age Housing Benefit claims are moving into Universal Credit; either alone would show that move, not a change in need. Housing Benefit counts claims and Universal Credit counts households. DWP's Housing Benefit figures on this basis start in April 2018.

New National Insurance numbers registered to adults from abroad, by world region of nationality, each financial year (April to March) from 2016/17 to 2025/26, per 1,000 residents (mid-year population estimate at the start of each year: ONS, NRS or NISRA). This counts registrations when people arrive to work or claim benefits, at the address given then; it is not who still lives here, and people often move after registering. Children, and people who never register, are not counted. Other or unknown nationalities (55 in 2025/26) are not drawn.

Pension Credit claimants (a couple claiming together counts once) in the latest quarter each year, February 2019 to March 2026, as a share of residents aged 66 and over at the 2021 census, a fixed base. Pension Credit tops up the income of people over State Pension age on low incomes, and many who could claim it do not, so claims also move with how many people apply. Its qualifying age follows women's State Pension age, which rose from 65 in November 2018 to 66 in October 2020, so fewer people newly qualified in those years.

Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first month after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); 2: January 2026, when Nomis moved neighbourhood figures from 2011 to 2021 neighbourhood areas. The Claimant Count is the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance plus people on Universal Credit who are required to look for work (ONS), each month from January 2013 to September 2026, as a share of residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base: population change since 2021 is not reflected. Universal Credit asks more people to look for work than Jobseeker's Allowance did, so while it was rolled out area by area (shaded from 2015 until it took new claims in every Jobcentre in December 2018) the count rose partly because more people were counted, not only because more people were out of work; the reading above starts in September 2019. Neighbourhood: St Albans 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021). Nomis published its figures on its 2011 neighbourhood area (the same ground) until December 2025 and on its 2021 area since January 2026. ONS rounds every count to the nearest 5; a neighbourhood's own line is drawn only where it had at least 50 claimants in the latest month. Source: ONS Claimant Count via Nomis, September 2026, 2021 neighbourhood area (St Albans 001).

Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first month after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); 2: August 2022, the first month DWP marks people moved across from older benefits by Move to UC. Benefit counts from May 2013 to December 2024, divided by ONS mid-year population estimates aged 16 to 64 for 2013–2024 (2021-based, from Nomis). Each month or quarter uses the mid-year estimate for the same calendar year; this is not a monthly population estimate. Only matching area codes and years are used; gaps stay missing, and population is never carried forward. Areas without matching estimates are omitted. The latest benefit count held for the leading area is May 2026. Headline shares and separate full-history charts, where available, retain their fixed Census 2021 base; the counted benefit-change signal still compares counts. DWP counts people on Universal Credit of all ages: this is a ratio to the working-age population, not the percentage of working-age residents claiming. Growth also reflects the roll-out and moves from older benefits. Our own calculated shares; population estimates roll the census forward with births, deaths and moves.

Benefit counts from 2021/22 to 2024/25, divided by ONS mid-year population estimates aged 0 to 15 for 2021–2024 (2021-based, from Nomis). Each financial year uses the mid-year estimate in its starting year (for example, 2024/25 uses mid-2024). Only matching area codes and years are used; gaps stay missing, and population is never carried forward. Areas without matching estimates are omitted. The latest benefit count held for the leading area is 2024/25. Headline shares and separate full-history charts, where available, retain their fixed Census 2021 base; the counted benefit-change signal still compares counts. DWP definitions: a child is in relative low income when their family's income before housing costs, adjusted for the size and make-up of the household, is below 60% of the median that year; income includes earnings, state support and pensions. Only families claiming Child Benefit and at least one other household benefit (Universal Credit, tax credits or Housing Benefit) are counted.

Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first quarter after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); DWP paused routine PIP reviews and reassessments from late March to July 2020. People aged 16 to 64 receiving Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in January, April, July and October each year from April 2013 to July 2026, as a share of residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base: population change since 2021 is not reflected. PIP replaced Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people aged 16 to 64 from April 2013, and people already receiving DLA were moved across to PIP by DWP's reassessments, the largest part of them by 2019 (shaded): the rise until then partly reflects that move, not only more people claiming, so the reading above starts in July 2019. Neighbourhood: St Albans 001 (ONS middle layer super output area, 2021). DWP adjusts small counts slightly to protect privacy, so a neighbourhood's own line is drawn only where at least 50 people aged 16 to 64 received PIP in the latest quarter. Quarters to October 2018 come from DWP's closed series ("to 2019"), which it no longer revises; from January 2019 from its current series, revised with each quarterly release.

Numbered on the chart: 1: April 2020, the first quarter after the Covid-19 lockdown began (23 March 2020); DWP paused routine PIP reviews and reassessments from late March to July 2020. Benefit counts from April 2013 to October 2024, divided by ONS mid-year population estimates aged 16 to 64 for 2013–2024 (2021-based, from Nomis). Each month or quarter uses the mid-year estimate for the same calendar year; this is not a monthly population estimate. Only matching area codes and years are used; gaps stay missing, and population is never carried forward. Areas without matching estimates are omitted. The latest benefit count held for the leading area is July 2026. Headline shares and separate full-history charts, where available, retain their fixed Census 2021 base; the counted benefit-change signal still compares counts. PIP replaced Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people aged 16 to 64 from April 2013, and people already receiving DLA were moved across to PIP by DWP's reassessments, the largest part of them by 2019. Source: DWP, PIP Cases with Entitlement (Stat-Xplore), July 2026. Our own calculated shares; population estimates roll the census forward with births, deaths and moves.

Council Tax Support claimants (pensioners and working age), each one a council tax bill reduced under the council's scheme, at the end of each financial quarter from December 2015 to June 2026, as a share of households at the 2021 census, a fixed base: change in the number of households since 2021 is not reflected. Since April 2013 each council in England has set its own scheme for working-age people (who qualifies and how much), so councils are not like for like and a change can follow a change to the scheme; support for pensioners follows national rules. MHCLG publishes the figures councils return each quarter and revises them when a council sends corrected figures; a quarter it marks not available is left as a gap.

All nationalities: 707 registrations in 2025/26 (4.7 per 1,000 residents). England: 7.9 per 1,000 residents. Registrations when adults from abroad arrive to work or claim, at the address given then; not who still lives here (people often move after registering), and children and people who never register are not counted. Nationalities with small numbers may be rounded or suppressed by DWP.
- Children in low-income families, 2024/2567 children under 16 in Harpenden North & Rural ward (+3 on 2023/24) · 3.4% of children in this neighbourhood (67) · 7.3% of children in St Albans (2,344)
This neighbourhood 3.0% in 2021/22 → 3.4% in 2024/25; St Albans 7.5% → 7.3%; England 18.6% → 20.3%. Change since 2021/22: Stat-Xplore holds 4 years on 2021 boundaries, so a five-year change is not available yet. DWP definitions: a child is in relative low income when their family's income before housing costs, adjusted for the size and make-up of the household, is below 60% of the median that year; income includes earnings, state support and pensions. Only families claiming Child Benefit and at least one other household benefit (Universal Credit, tax credits or Housing Benefit) are counted. Shares use residents aged 0 to 15 at the 2021 census.
- Pension Credit in this neighbourhood, March 20265.4% of residents aged 66 and over (62 claimants)
St Albans: 6.2%. East of England: 9.5%. England: 11.9%. February 2019: this neighbourhood 5.3%; Feb 2020 5.1%, Feb 2021 5.1%, Feb 2022 4.7%, Feb 2023 4.7%, Feb 2024 4.9%, Feb 2025 5.2%. Pension Credit tops up the income of people over State Pension age on low incomes; many people who could claim it do not. Claimants: a couple claiming together counts once. Share of residents aged 66 and over (State Pension age in 2021) at the 2021 census, a fixed base (1,158 in this neighbourhood). The annual population age bands held here group everyone aged 65 and over together, so they cannot provide a matching 66-and-over denominator; population change since 2021 is not reflected in these shares.
- Households getting help with rent in this neighbourhood, March 2026Social rented: 47.4 per 1,000 households (Housing Benefit 39, Universal Credit 97) · Private rented: 19.9 per 1,000 households (Housing Benefit 18, Universal Credit 39)
St Albans: social 88.1, private 35.5 per 1,000 households. East of England: social 118.0, private 61.7 per 1,000 households. England: social 135.3, private 76.5 per 1,000 households. March 2019 in this neighbourhood: social 39.4, private 14.3 per 1,000 households. Another 5 with tenure not recorded or other (Housing Benefit 0, Universal Credit 5). Working-age Housing Benefit is moving into Universal Credit's housing element, so read the two together: the total is the fairer comparison over time. Pensioners and people in supported or temporary housing still claim Housing Benefit. Housing Benefit counts claims and Universal Credit counts households; a home gets help through one or the other. Per 1,000 households at the 2021 census (2,870 in this neighbourhood), a fixed base. Annual resident age estimates cannot provide a household denominator; changes in the number of households since 2021 are not reflected in these rates.
- Claimant Count in this neighbourhood, September 20261.5% of residents aged 16 to 64 (70 people)
St Albans: 2.5% (2,235). East of England: 3.4% (132,405). England: 4.2% (1,493,875). September 2025: 1.4% in this neighbourhood. January 2013: 0.9% in this neighbourhood. Nomis published its figures on its 2011 neighbourhood area (the same ground) until December 2025 and on its 2021 area since January 2026. People claiming Jobseeker's Allowance plus people on Universal Credit who are required to look for work; the count rose while Universal Credit was rolled out (2015 to December 2018) partly because more people were counted. Denominator: residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base (4,559 in this neighbourhood). ONS rounds counts to the nearest 5. Shown only: the Claimant Count is not one of the signals in How the area is changing (people on Universal Credit already are, within benefit claims) and never feeds a score. Source: ONS Claimant Count via Nomis, September 2026, 2021 neighbourhood area (St Albans 001).
- People receiving PIP in this neighbourhood, July 20262.6% of residents aged 16 to 64 (119 people)
St Albans: 4.8% (4,375). East of England: 7.6% (296,054). England: 8.5% (3,035,893). July 2025: 2.6% in this neighbourhood. July 2019: 1.3% in this neighbourhood. PIP replaced Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people aged 16 to 64 from April 2013, and people already receiving DLA were moved across to PIP by DWP's reassessments, the largest part of them by 2019, so the rise until then partly reflects that move. Denominator: residents aged 16 to 64 at the 2021 census, a fixed base (4,559 in this neighbourhood). DWP adjusts small counts slightly to protect privacy. Its three-year change against the borough counts in How the area is changing, inside the one grouped benefit claims signal; it never feeds a score. Source: DWP, PIP Cases with Entitlement (Stat-Xplore), July 2026.
- Households on Council Tax Support in St Albans, June 202610.0% of households (5,910 claimants: 1,706 pensioners, 4,204 working age)
England: 15.5% (3,635,623 claimants). June 2025: 10.1% (5,954 claimants) in St Albans. December 2015: 11.3% in St Albans. Each claimant is a council tax bill reduced under the council's scheme, so in effect a household. Since April 2013 each council in England has set its own scheme for working-age people (who qualifies and how much), so councils are not like for like and a change can follow a change to the scheme; support for pensioners follows national rules. Share of households at the 2021 census, a fixed base (58,990 in St Albans). The borough's change over three years against England's is one of the benefit measures in How the area is changing (counted once, with Universal Credit, children in low-income families, help with rent and Pension Credit); here it is only shown, and it never feeds a score.

- Is this street maintained by the council?Not in open data
Whether a street is adopted (maintained at public expense) is recorded in the council's list of streets, which is not published as open data.

- Is this street in a resident parking zone?Not measured
Not measured: parking zone boundaries for St Albans are not held in this report; most councils do not publish them as open data, so this report cannot say whether the street is in a permit zone. Ask the seller and the council whether the street needs a permit.

No larger scheme within 500 m or house in multiple occupation (HMO) within 100 m is recorded by PlanIt for the last 3 years. Whether a phone mast was applied for within 200 m cannot be told before 29 September 2026: the copy these are read from holds phone mast applications only from that date. None is recorded since. FloodRadar's copy of PlanIt, which these are read from, holds applications for tree works, adverts, amendments and conditions, and for phone masts, only from 29 September 2026: earlier ones are missing here unless the council has changed them since.
- Larger schemes within 500 m
- 0
PlanIt's "large" applications and any stating 10 or more homes (conditions and amendments left out); homes counted where approved or awaiting decision, as the description states them (not net of homes replaced).
- New homes and conversions within 250 m
- 1
1 to turn buildings into homes. Also 2 involving demolition. Read from each application's description.
- Home improvement applications within 250 m
- 18
Extensions, lofts, dormers, basements and other householder work, read from the descriptions. A steady flow usually means owners are investing in their homes.
- Premium home works within 250 m
- 1 in 3 years
1 garden office or room. Not compared with the council: too few premium applications either way to compare. Applications of the last 3 years for basements and cellars, swimming pools, garden offices and rooms, orangeries, tennis and padel courts, home cinemas and gyms, and wine cellars, read from each description with a reviewed list of words; businesses, clubs, new flats, HMOs and paperwork on earlier permissions are left out (recorded by PlanIt). FloodRadar's copy of PlanIt, which these are read from, holds applications for tree works, adverts, amendments and conditions, and for phone masts, only from 29 September 2026: earlier ones are missing here unless the council has changed them since.
- Larger schemes approved within 500 m
- None recorded
Larger schemes (10 or more homes, or PlanIt's large applications) approved in the last 3 years with the number of homes stated, one per site (its latest approval); homes as each application states them, not net of homes replaced (recorded by PlanIt). Shown for context, not counted: an approval is a plan, and homes can take years to build. FloodRadar's copy of PlanIt, which these are read from, holds applications for tree works, adverts, amendments and conditions, and for phone masts, only from 29 September 2026: earlier ones are missing here unless the council has changed them since.
- Brownfield housing sites within 500 m
- None registered
No current site on the council's brownfield land register within 500 m.
- New homes built
- 410 a year in St Albans over 5 years · 6.7 per 1,000 homes (East of England 10.1, England 9.0)
Net additional homes (MHCLG: new builds plus conversions and changes of use, minus demolitions) in St Albans each year, 2020-21 to 2024-25: 410 a year on average, 6.7 a year for every 1,000 homes (East of England 10.1, England 9.0). Latest: 381 in 2024-25 (provisional), 6.0 per 1,000 homes. Per 1,000 homes: the yearly average against the dwelling stock at the start (MHCLG estimates at 31 March). Many new homes can mean regeneration, new shops and services and a growing area, or more competition from new-build sales and busier roads, schools and GP surgeries; few can mean a settled area where homes are scarce. Council level, not this street. Shown for context, not counted.
- Protected countryside
- None recorded at this point
No National Park, National Landscape, SSSI or other nature designation is recorded at the point (England). An empty result means nothing recorded, not nothing applies.
- Heritage at risk within 500 m
- 0
Listed buildings, monuments, parks or conservation areas that Historic England records as at risk. Nearby neglected heritage can mean repairs, scaffolding or regeneration plans.
- Landlord licensing areaNot measured
Not measured: this report holds no published licensing areas for St Albans; most councils do not publish them as open data, so this report cannot say whether a selective or additional licensing scheme covers this home. Ask the council if you plan to let the home.
- Mandatory HMO licence (national rule)National rule
Wherever the home is in England, renting it to 5 or more people who form more than one household and share a toilet, bathroom or kitchen needs a licence from the council (a large house in multiple occupation). This applies in every council, whatever its local schemes (GOV.UK, read 6 October 2026).
Source: GOV.UK - Planning applications: coverage3 years, some kinds from a later date
St Albans: read from FloodRadar's nightly copy of PlanIt, which reaches back to 3 November 2023 (3 years) and is brought up to date nightly, complete through 1 November 2026; the newest application it holds for this council is dated 5 October 2026. FloodRadar's copy of PlanIt, which these are read from, holds applications for tree works, adverts, amendments and conditions, and for phone masts, only from 29 September 2026: earlier ones are missing here unless the council has changed them since. PlanIt has no location for some applications (about 9% nationally); they cannot be placed or counted here. Many points are the application's postcode centre, so distances are approximate. Planning context uses 500 m; the census neighbourhood has at least 300 residents per km². The list shows 50 of 58 recorded applications within 500 m in the last 3 years; the map shows 8. The 250 m figures retain their smaller radius. Applications are not necessarily separate projects or building-control approvals.

- Public investmentNothing recorded at this point
Checked: development corporation areas (planning.data.gov.uk, England), Pride in Place places (259 of 284 can be placed, list reviewed 26 September 2026), Town Deal and Future High Streets Fund towns (165 of 172 awards can be placed, list reviewed 27 September 2026), Freeport and Investment Zone tax sites within 10 km (51 of 64 placed by an official location, list reviewed 27 September 2026), and Levelling Up Fund bids for this council (rounds 1 to 3, list reviewed 27 September 2026). Other public money (grants, transport schemes, council and devolved programmes) is not checked.
- Freeport and Investment Zone tax sitesNone within 10 km · nearest 50 km
The nearest placed tax site is Dagenham (Thames Freeport), 50 km away, measured to one point, the Ford Motor Company Estate address in Dagenham, of which the site is a part. Businesses on tax sites get tax reliefs, to bring investment and jobs.
Sources: HMRC map - Levelling Up Fund in St AlbansNothing recorded
No Levelling Up Fund bid in rounds 1 to 3 is recorded for St Albans, by its council or for a wider area that includes it.
- New homes built in St Albans, 2001-02 → 2024-25381 in 2024-25 (provisional), 6.0 per 1,000 homes
Net additional homes (MHCLG: new builds plus conversions and changes of use, minus demolitions). The most in one year: 660 in 2004-05. Per 1,000 homes: the yearly average against the dwelling stock at the start (MHCLG estimates at 31 March). MHCLG revises the latest years and adjusts all of them to each census. Many new homes can mean regeneration, new shops and services and a growing area, or more competition from new-build sales and busier roads, schools and GP surgeries; few can mean a settled area where homes are scarce. Council level, not this street. Shown for context, not counted.
- Housing Delivery Test 2025: St Albans46%: presumption in favour of sustainable development
St Albans delivered 1,220 homes against 2,662 required over the three years to March 2025 (46%). Below 75%: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies, with the 20% buffer and the action plan. Planning applications for housing are then to be approved unless the harm would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, or national policies protecting areas such as green belt, flood zones or heritage give a strong reason to refuse. In practice more new housing gets approved, including on sites the local plan did not allocate: relevant to buyers near open land, farmland or large plots. The Housing Delivery Test (MHCLG) compares the homes delivered in each planning area over three years with the number required by its plan or by national housing need. Consequences are cumulative: an action plan below 95%, a 20% buffer below 85%, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development below 75%. The presumption can also apply when a council cannot show five years' supply of housing land; that is not recorded here. Council level, not this street. Shown for context, not counted.

How the area is changing · Partial evidence
One of the most affluent neighbourhoods in England today (Affluence today, below).
One of the most affluent neighbourhoods in England today (Affluence today, below). 3 of 20 measured signals point towards rising affluence compared with the borough, and 2 point the other way. Several independent signals agree, which is consistent with neighbourhood change. None of it says who is moving in or out.
Section coverage: Neighbourhood St Albans 001 (2021 MSOA E02004924) against St Albans. Food premises within 800 m. · 2026-10-20
Affluence todayAmong the most affluent
One of the most affluent neighbourhoods in England: household income after housing costs higher than 97% of neighbourhoods in England, and houses around £880k and flats around £270k, dearer than 90%. It is changing little against St Albans (the gentrification indication). How well off the neighbourhood is today, from 4 money measures listed in the full evidence; a label, not a score.
Gentrification signalsMixed signs
3 of 20 measured signals point towards rising affluence against the borough, 2 the other way and 15 in line. Weighing each by how directly it tracks rising incomes and values (1 to 5), the balance is 0.00, on a scale from -1 (all the other way) to +1 (all rising). A reading of the signals, not a prediction. Each signal is listed below.
Plug-in cars9.5% here, up from 4.9% in 2023 · St Albans 8.2% · England 5.4%
Share of the privately kept cars licensed in St Albans 001 at the end of June 2026 that are plug-in (battery electric or plug-in hybrid): 9.5%, against St Albans 8.2%, East of England 5.3%, England 5.4%. In June 2023: 4.9% here and 3.6% across St Albans, so +4.6 points here against +4.6. Its growth against St Albans is one of the counted signals below; public charging points are not.
Jobs in this neighbourhood3,000 · -77% since 2019 (St Albans -13%, East +4%)
Jobs at workplaces in St Albans 001 in September 2024 (2024 is provisional): employees and working owners in every industry but agriculture, forestry and fishing. 13,000 in 2019, 3,000 in 2024: -77%, larger than ONS's rounding allows. Over the same years: St Albans -13%, East +4%, England +5%. ONS rounds a figure of about 3,000 to the nearest 500 (1,000 where a few businesses dominate).

The businesses behind these observations
Food register authority reference: 160. This comparison uses only that authority’s premises and dates.
No additions or absences recorded between these observations. This does not rule out openings outside the tracked register or period.
Shop and service map observations and independently sourced opening records are shown separately below.
Source: Food Standards Agency register. Baseline membership is grouped using the latest held name, category and location; historical rebranding or relocation cannot be reconstructed. An absent record may reflect a move, changed registration or a closed business. Different authorities retain separate periods. Premium/value bands describe brands, not actual prices or customers; unclassified businesses are not assigned a price tier. This observed history is context and does not change the saved gentrification score.

Companies incorporated each year that are still on the register, per 1,000 households (Census 2021), here and across St Albans. The register lists live companies only, so an earlier year counts only the companies that survived to October 2026: both lines fall going back, and the gap between them matters more than their slope. 2026 is the year so far (dashed).

Police.uk crimes excluding anti-social behaviour, 3-month averages, each line set to 100 for its first year, so a falling line means fewer crimes than then. Months with incomplete police data are left blank. Left out of every year, so each counts the same forces: British Transport Police (incomplete from February 2025), and a few crimes recorded here by other forces with incomplete recent data.

ONS personal well-being: mean life satisfaction out of 10 (Annual Population Survey), April to March each year, for St Albans against East of England and the UK. A council's yearly figure rests on a few hundred people; 95% confidence ranges are saved with each value. Gaps are unavailable or withheld estimates, never zero. The shaded year is April 2020 to March 2021 (Covid-19). The latest stored council release covers April 2022 to March 2023. These are historical estimates, not a current wellbeing reading. ONS paused council estimates after 2022/23 because of Annual Population Survey quality concerns. As checked on 13 October 2026, ONS has provisionally scheduled a new release covering April 2024 to March 2026 for December 2026; those estimates are not published yet. Shown for context, not counted.

ONS personal well-being: mean feeling that the things you do are worthwhile out of 10 (Annual Population Survey), April to March each year, for St Albans against East of England and the UK. A council's yearly figure rests on a few hundred people; 95% confidence ranges are saved with each value. Gaps are unavailable or withheld estimates, never zero. The shaded year is April 2020 to March 2021 (Covid-19). The latest stored council release covers April 2022 to March 2023. These are historical estimates, not a current wellbeing reading. ONS paused council estimates after 2022/23 because of Annual Population Survey quality concerns. As checked on 13 October 2026, ONS has provisionally scheduled a new release covering April 2024 to March 2026 for December 2026; those estimates are not published yet.

- Affluence today
- Among the most affluent
One of the most affluent neighbourhoods in England: household income after housing costs higher than 97% of neighbourhoods in England, and houses around £880k and flats around £270k, dearer than 90%. It is changing little against St Albans (the gentrification indication). How well off the neighbourhood is today, from 4 money measures listed in the full evidence; a label, not a score.
- Gentrification signals
- Mixed signs
3 of 20 measured signals point towards rising affluence against the borough, 2 the other way and 15 in line. Weighing each by how directly it tracks rising incomes and values (1 to 5), the balance is 0.00, on a scale from -1 (all the other way) to +1 (all rising). A reading of the signals, not a prediction. Each signal is listed below.
- Plug-in cars
- 9.5% here, up from 4.9% in 2023 · St Albans 8.2% · England 5.4%
Share of the privately kept cars licensed in St Albans 001 at the end of June 2026 that are plug-in (battery electric or plug-in hybrid): 9.5%, against St Albans 8.2%, East of England 5.3%, England 5.4%. In June 2023: 4.9% here and 3.6% across St Albans, so +4.6 points here against +4.6. Its growth against St Albans is one of the counted signals below; public charging points are not.
- Household income
- £101,100 here vs £76,000 St Albans
ONS estimate of average household income before tax in St Albans 001, 2022/23 (95% range £86,200 to £118,700), against the median of St Albans's 20 neighbourhoods (our own figure): up 33% since 2011/12, against +31% for the typical St Albans neighbourhood; higher than all 19 of St Albans's other neighbourhoods. Modelled survey estimates: small differences mean little.
- Lifestyle businesses
- 7 here (architects and interiors 3, coffee 2, fitness 2) · 1 new in 3 years, in line with St Albans
Live companies with a registered office in St Albans 001 of the kinds on a reviewed list (yoga and pilates studios, dog groomers, walkers and pet care, architects and interior designers, coffee roasters and specialist coffee, florists, wine merchants and wine bars, personal trainers and fitness studios): 2.4 per 1,000 households, against 1.7 across St Albans. 1 new lifestyle company in 3 years here (0.3 per 1,000 households) against 0.4 across St Albans (0.9×); the St Albans rate would give 1.2 here. Fewer than 5 new here: in line (too few to stand out). Companies House, October 2026; a registered office is not always where a business trades, and addresses holding 50 or more companies are left out.
- Homes against local pay
- 11.0 times local pay
Homes in St Albans cost 11.0 times the median full-time pay of people living there in 2025 (East of England 8.5, England 7.6), down from 11.7 in 2015. Residents' median full-time pay £57,396, +31% in 5 years.
- Local businesses
- 85 here · 13.1 per 100 homes (St Albans 15.1)
Live companies registered in this small area, per 100 households. Largest groups here: tech and professional services 35% (St Albans 29%), property and letting 15% (St Albans 11%), construction and trades 12% (St Albans 9%). Companies House, October 2026; registered offices are not always where a business trades, and addresses holding 50 or more companies are left out.
- Solar panels and heat pumps
- 1.6% here, up from 0.9% · St Albans 2.5% · England 3.1%
Share of the 367 energy certificates for existing homes lodged in St Albans 001 from July 2023 to June 2026 that record solar panels or a heat pump as main heating (0.9% of 345 from July 2020 to June 2023). Money going into homes; its growth against St Albans is one of the counted signals below.
- New homes certified here
- 24 in 3 years (8.4 per 1,000 homes; St Albans 14)
New-home energy certificates lodged in St Albans 001 from July 2023 to June 2026. Every new home, built or converted, needs one when it is finished, so this counts homes finished, not planned. Per 1,000 households at the 2021 Census: 8.4 here, 14 across St Albans, 24 across England. Developers building here is a sign they expect homes to sell; its rate against St Albans is one of the counted signals below.
- Life expectancy
- Women 86.7, men 82.7 here · St Albans 85.2, 81.8 · England 83.0, 79.1
Similar to St Albans for both women and men; higher than England for both women and men. ONS estimates of life expectancy at birth in St Albans 001, 2019 to 2023: women 86.7 (95% range 84.7 to 88.8), men 82.7 (80.5 to 84.9); East of England 83.7 and 80.0. Pooled over five years of deaths in a small area, so the ranges are wide and small differences mean little.
- Life satisfaction
- 8.0 of 10 in St Albans · East of England 7.5 · UK 7.5 (2022/23)
Higher than East of England and the UK. Life satisfaction out of 10, April 2022 to March 2023: St Albans 7.97 (95% range 7.70 to 8.23), East of England 7.50 (7.43 to 7.56), UK 7.45 (7.43 to 7.47). Happiness 7.60 (7.23 to 7.98), similar to East of England and the UK. Anxiety (lower is better) 3.03 (2.50 to 3.56), similar to East of England and the UK. ONS's Annual Population Survey asks a sample of adults in each council, usually a few hundred people, so a council's 95% range is wide; following ONS, a difference whose ranges overlap is read as similar. The latest stored council release covers April 2022 to March 2023. These are historical estimates, not a current wellbeing reading. ONS paused council estimates after 2022/23 because of Annual Population Survey quality concerns. As checked on 13 October 2026, ONS has provisionally scheduled a new release covering April 2024 to March 2026 for December 2026; those estimates are not published yet. Council level, not this street. Shown for context, not counted.
- Jobs in this neighbourhood
- 3,000 · -77% since 2019 (St Albans -13%, East +4%)
Jobs at workplaces in St Albans 001 in September 2024 (2024 is provisional): employees and working owners in every industry but agriculture, forestry and fishing. 13,000 in 2019, 3,000 in 2024: -77%, larger than ONS's rounding allows. Over the same years: St Albans -13%, East +4%, England +5%. ONS rounds a figure of about 3,000 to the nearest 500 (1,000 where a few businesses dominate).
- Jobs within 5 km
- 16,000 · -42% since 2019 (St Albans -13%, East +4%)
Jobs at workplaces in the 6 neighbourhoods whose centres are within 5 km of the home, September 2024 (2024 is provisional). The change covers all of them. 27,000 in 2019, 16,000 in 2024 (-42%). Over the same years: St Albans -13%, East +4%, England +5%.

75 re-certified homes here. Domestic EPCs in this small area (LSOA), re-certified in the last 3 years with an earlier certificate, against the whole borough. This is a selected sample of homes, not all housing; a changed assessment can move a rating without building work. Borough: 2746 improved (48%), 2405 unchanged (42%), 522 worsened (9%) of 5673 re-certified homes.
- Fly-tipping
- 6.1 per 1,000 people in St Albans (2024/25) · East of England 15.3 · England 21.5
Up from 4.2 in 2021/22 (+45%); East of England 11.9 → 15.3, England 19.3 → 21.5. St Albans counts every incident it deals with. Council figures: they depend on how each council records fly-tips (councils that clear streets proactively record more), so they are not a measure of this street.
- Affluence today: every input and its weightAmong the most affluent (4 of 4 inputs)
Household income after housing costs (weight 3): £49,351 a year (ONS estimate of household income after housing costs, 2022/23), higher than 97% of the 6,856 neighbourhoods in England; position 97.1 of 100. Home prices (weight 2): median resales here, 2023-2025: houses £875,000 (258 sales), dearer than 95%; flats £266,000 (57 sales), dearer than 71%, of neighbourhoods in England (together weighted by sales); position 90.8 of 100. Income deprivation (Indices of Deprivation 2025) (weight 3): decile 10 of 10 (1 is the most deprived tenth of England's small areas, 10 the least); position 95 of 100. Overall deprivation (Indices of Deprivation 2025) (weight 1): decile 10 of 10 (1 is the most deprived tenth of England's small areas, 10 the least); position 95 of 100. Weighted position (97.1×3 + 90.8×2 + 95×3 + 95×1) ÷ 9 = 95 of 100. Bands: Among the most affluent from 82, Affluent from 62, Middle income from 40, Below average income from 14, Among the most income-deprived from 0. Ranks are our own, against every neighbourhood in England; a decile counts at its middle (decile 8 is 75). Supporting, not counted: no premium and no budget food and drink brands within 800 m (FSA register; the brand's positioning, not the premises or its customers). It never feeds the verdict, the gentrification indication, the area scores, What matters or the questions.
- Gentrification indication: every signal and its weightMixed signs (weighted balance 0.00; 3 of 20 signals up, 2 down)
Rising: Recent price momentum (weight 3), Income deprivation ranking (weight 3), Anti-social behaviour (weight 1). In line: Resale prices (weight 5), Household income (weight 5), Degree-educated residents (weight 3), Plug-in car growth (weight 3), Home improvement applications (weight 3), Recorded crime (weight 2), Solar and heat pumps (weight 2), Catching up with neighbouring areas (weight 2), New stations nearby (weight 2), Residents aged 25 to 29 (weight 1), Single-person households under 65 (weight 1), Air quality (weight 1), New-build activity (weight 1), Lifestyle businesses (weight 1), Homes selling (weight 1). The other way: Benefit claims (DWP) (weight 4), Schools improving (weight 3). Not measurable here: Premium home works (weight 3), Premium and budget brands (weight 1), New independent cafés and restaurants (weight 1). Each weight, from 1 to 5, says how directly a signal tracks rising incomes and values; the balance is the weight rising minus the weight pointing the other way, divided by the weight of every measured signal, from -1 to +1. The four DWP income measures count as one signal; context rows are not counted. Shown for context, not counted: Prices over ten years, Homes improving their energy rating, New companies registered, New cafés, creative and fitness businesses, Borough against the region. Weights and bands from our reviewed list (data/reference/gentrification-weights.json, reviewed 13 October 2026), not an official measure.
- House resales 2017-2019 → 2023-2025+23% here vs +18% St Albans
Median £712,500 (264 sales) → £875,000 (258 sales) in St Albans 001. Borough median £612,500 → £725,000. A gap of +4 points is within normal variation between neighbourhoods.
- Flat resales 2017-2019 → 2023-2025+18% here vs +8% St Albans
Median £225,000 (46 sales) → £266,000 (57 sales) in St Albans 001. Borough median £300,000 → £325,000. A gap of +10 points is within normal variation between neighbourhoods.
- Degree-level qualifications, 2011 → 202153% → 61% (+8 pts) vs St Albans +7 pts
Share of residents aged 16+ whose highest qualification is Level 4 (degree) or above, in St Albans 001. The borough figure uses the same neighbourhoods in both censuses. Degrees became more common everywhere between the censuses, so only the gap against the borough says anything about this area.
- Single-person households under 65, 2011 → 202110% → 10% (0 pts) vs St Albans -1 pts
Share of households of one person below pension age, in St Albans 001. The borough figure uses the same neighbourhoods in both censuses. Often young professionals renting or buying alone; also older people on their own.
- Privately renting households, 2011 → 20218% → 11% (+3 pts) vs St Albans +3 pts
Share of households renting from a private landlord or other private arrangement, in St Albans 001. The borough figure uses the same neighbourhoods in both censuses. More private renting can mean new arrivals or fewer people able to buy; on its own it is not a sign of rising affluence.
- Residents aged 25 to 29, 2011 → 20213% → 3% (0 pts) vs St Albans -1 pts
Share of residents aged 25 to 29 (the 2011 census groups 30 to 44 together, so this is the comparable young-adult band), in St Albans 001. The borough figure uses the same neighbourhoods in both censuses. Areas drawing young professionals gain people in their late twenties faster than the borough.
- Recorded crime, excluding anti-social behaviour176 → 187 (+6%) vs St Albans +12%
Police.uk street-level records in St Albans 001, the 12 months to August 2024 against the 12 months to August 2026 (Sep 2023 to Aug 2024; Sep 2025 to Aug 2026). Over the same months: East of England +2%, England (273 of 296 council areas) -1%. Counts, not rates: population change is unknown between these years. Changes in recording or policing can move these figures as much as real change.
- Restaurants and cafés within 800 m2
0 likely chains, 2 likely independent (0 new independents since tracking began). 0 first registered since tracking began on 2026-09-08; 0 awaiting a first hygiene inspection, which usually means recently opened or changed hands.
- Pubs and bars within 800 m1
0 first registered since tracking began on 2026-09-08; 0 awaiting a first hygiene inspection, which usually means recently opened or changed hands.
- Takeaways within 800 m0
0 likely chains, 0 likely independent (0 new independents since tracking began). 0 first registered since tracking began on 2026-09-08; 0 awaiting a first hygiene inspection, which usually means recently opened or changed hands.
- Deprivation ranking, 2019 → 2025Decile 10 → 10 (+0.7 pts) vs St Albans -0.4 pts
English Indices of Deprivation for this small area (E01023690). Decile 1 is the most deprived tenth of England, 10 the least. Ranks are relative: moving up means other areas fell behind or this one improved, not an absolute measure. Income decile 10 → 10, education 10 → 10, crime 10 → 10.
- Household income, 2011/12 → 2022/23£101,100 here vs £76,000 St Albans
ONS model-based estimates (Income estimates for small areas) for St Albans 001: 2011/12 £76,200, 2013/14 £64,700, 2015/16 £69,400, 2017/18 £64,400, 2019/20 £69,200, 2022/23 £101,100. In 2022/23, after tax £66,100; adjusted for household size, £58,600 before housing costs and £49,400 after. Allowing for the 95% ranges (clearly different only where they do not overlap), it is clearly above 6 of St Albans's other neighbourhoods; the rest are not clearly different. The borough figure is our own: the median of the council's neighbourhoods in each edition. These are modelled survey estimates, each with a 95% confidence interval, so small differences between areas or years mean little; ONS cautions that its method is built for single years rather than change, and 2022/23 used new neighbourhood boundaries and new model inputs. No estimates exist for 2020/21 or 2021/22; 2011/12 and 2013/14 were published as weekly incomes and are shown as annual (× 365.25 ÷ 7, as ONS does).
- Income deprivation, 2019 → 2025Decile 10 → 10 (+1.4 pts) vs St Albans -3.7 pts
Income domain of the English Indices of Deprivation for this small area (E01023690): in 2025, 2.1% of the population here was counted as income-deprived (out of work, or on a low income and receiving benefits or tax credits), decile 10 of England (1 is the most deprived tenth, 10 the least). Ranks are relative, and the rates are not comparable between editions (2025 counts Universal Credit), so only the change in national position is compared. Income deprivation affecting children: decile 10 → 10. This is the counted deprivation signal; the overall ranking is shown beside it for context, because it already includes income.
- Homes against local pay in St Albans, 2003 → 202511.0 times local pay
Homes in St Albans cost 11.0 times the median full-time pay of people living there in 2025 (East of England 8.5, England 7.6), down from 11.7 in 2015. Residents' median full-time pay £57,396, +31% in 5 years. ONS House price to residence-based earnings ratio: the median price paid for homes in the year to September against the median gross annual pay of full-time employees who live in the council area (not everyone who works there, and not part-time pay). Council level, not this street. Shown, not counted: a rising ratio can mean demand from beyond the area or stretched prices.
- Borough against the region: St Albans against the East of EnglandAhead on 0 of 4 measures, behind on 1
Prices +12% against +17% (UK House Price Index, 2017–2019 → 2023–2025): in line (a gap of -5 points; 5 or more counts). Household income +33% against +34% for the typical neighbourhood (2011/12 → 2022/23): in line (a gap of -1 points; 5 or more counts). Income deprivation ranks -3.7 against -1.2 percentile points of national position (2019 → 2025; up is less deprived): behind (a gap of -2.5 points; 2.5 or more counts). Residents with a degree +7 against +6 points (2011 → 2021): in line (a gap of +1 points; 1.5 or more counts). Wider-area context, the same for every neighbourhood in St Albans: at least 2 measures ahead, and more ahead than behind, points towards rising affluence; at least 2 behind, and more behind than ahead, points the other way. The neighbourhood's own signals compare it with St Albans; this one compares St Albans with the East of England, shown separately from the local-change calculation. The council and region figures for household income, income deprivation and degrees are our own, from their neighbourhoods and small areas.
- Life expectancy at birth, 2019 to 2023Women 86.7, men 82.7 here · St Albans 85.2, 81.8 · England 83.0, 79.1
ONS estimates for St Albans 001: women 86.7 (95% range 84.7 to 88.8), men 82.7 (80.5 to 84.9); St Albans 85.2 and 81.8, East of England 83.7 and 80.0, England 83.0 and 79.1 (women, men), the same five years and method. Similar to St Albans for both women and men; higher than England for both women and men. "Similar" means the other figure falls within the 95% range here. It is how long a newborn would live at the death rates recorded among people living here in those years: a summary of the area's health, not a forecast. A care home, hospice or hostel in the neighbourhood lowers it, and people move in and out. A neighbourhood has 5,000 to 15,000 people, so its range is several years wide. Shown for context, not counted as a sign of change.
- Healthy life expectancy, 2019 to 2023Women 74.4, men 73.5 here · St Albans 72.4, 71.0 · England 66.5, 65.1
Years a newborn could expect to live in good or very good health, from self-reported health in Census 2021 and deaths in 2019 to 2023: 86% of life for women and 89% for men here (95% ranges: women 72.8 to 76.0, men 71.6 to 75.3). Without a disability that limits daily activities: women 73.8, men 72.4 here (St Albans 71.6 and 70.9; England 66.7 and 66.0). ONS: these small-area estimates are not comparable with its regular healthy life expectancy figures from the Annual Population Survey. Shown for context, not counted.
- Disability-free life expectancy, 2019 to 2023Women 73.8, men 72.4 here · St Albans 71.6, 70.9 · England 66.7, 66.0

ONS disability-free life expectancy at birth, St Albans 001, 2019 to 2023: years without a disability that limits daily activities, from Census 2021 and deaths pooled over five years. A summary of the area, not a forecast for an individual. These small-area estimates are not comparable with ONS’s regular Annual Population Survey health expectancy figures. Shown for context, not counted.

ONS life expectancy at birth for the council in three-year periods, on today's council boundaries. In 2022 to 2024: East of England 84.0 and 80.3, England 83.3 and 79.5 (women, men). Periods that include 2020 to 2022 were lowered by the Covid-19 pandemic everywhere. Council level, not this street; the neighbourhood figure covers 2019 to 2023. Shown for context, not counted.

DfT and DVLA vehicle licensing statistics for the small areas of St Albans 001: privately kept licensed cars (4,115 at the end of June 2026, 4,046 in June 2023) and privately kept licensed plug-in vehicles (battery electric, plug-in hybrid and range-extended). Vehicles are counted at the registered keeper's address; company and lease cars are left out, because they are registered at the company's address, often a leasing firm's. DfT does not split plug-in vehicles by body type for small areas, so the few privately kept plug-in vans and motorcycles are counted too (almost all are cars). DfT withholds counts of 1 to 4 vehicles in a small area and leaves out small areas that never had 5; where that leaves a share uncertain it is shown as a range, never estimated. The council, region and nation are the sums of their small areas (our own figures). Plug-in cars are easier to own with a driveway or garage to charge at home, so areas of flats and on-street parking can read lower for that reason alone. Growth against the council is a counted signal (owner's decision, 26 September 2026); public charging points are not, because councils put them where homes lack driveways.
- Cars tested in the AL postcode area, 202527% premium brands (Great Britain 24%) · average 10.1 years old · 7,100 miles a year
142,579 cars given an MOT at stations in the AL postcode area in 2025. Electric 3.0% and hybrid 8.3% here, against 2.1% and 5.3% across Great Britain; diesel 28% (Great Britain 39%). Great Britain: average 10.7 years old, 7,600 miles a year. Most tested makes here: Ford 12%, Volkswagen 10%, Vauxhall 6.8%, Audi 6.6%, Toyota 5.9%. Premium brands are a reviewed list of 22 makes (Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Range Rover, Jaguar, Porsche and the luxury makers; data/reference/premium-car-brands.json, reviewed 2026-09-27). Age is from the first use date to the test; yearly mileage is each car's odometer reading over its age, left out where it was not read or implies more than 60,000 miles a year. The postcode area is where the test station is, not where the car is kept: it is very broad (the whole AL area, many miles across), never this street. Only cars 3 years old or more need a test, so newer cars are missing and the figures lean older. Class 4 covers cars, taxis, motor caravans and vans up to 3,000 kg (the data has no body type). Each vehicle is counted once, at its first normal test of the year; retests are left out. Shown for context only; never counted towards the area's direction.
- Energy rating changes31 improved · 35 unchanged · 9 worsened
Domestic EPCs in this small area (LSOA), re-certified in the last 3 years with an earlier certificate, against the whole borough. This is a selected sample of homes, not all housing; a changed assessment can move a rating without building work. Borough: 2746 improved (48%), 2405 unchanged (42%), 522 worsened (9%) of 5673 re-certified homes.
- Solar panels and heat pumps, July 2023 to June 20261.6% here (5 with panels, 2 with a heat pump, of 367) vs St Albans 2.5%
Domestic energy certificates for existing homes (RdSAP) lodged in St Albans 001, placed in the neighbourhood by their postcode. A certificate is made when a home is sold, let or improved, so this reads the homes certified, not every home. Solar panels are counted where the certificate records panels on the roof; a heat pump only where it is the main heating. Homes of social landlords and certificates made for ECO, grant schemes, the Green Deal or stock condition surveys are left out, because public retrofit money goes to those homes first; new homes are counted separately (their certificates do not record panels the same way). Older certificates often do not record tenure, so the earliest years can include some social landlords' homes.
- New homes certified here, July 2023 to June 202624 here (46 in the 3 years before) · St Albans 822
Energy certificates lodged for new homes ("new dwelling"), placed in the neighbourhood by their postcode: new-build homes and homes made by converting other buildings, counted when finished. Homes still being built or only planned are not counted; planning applications show those. The rate is per household at the 2021 Census, so a neighbourhood that has grown a lot since then reads a little high.
- Jobs in this neighbourhood, 2015 → 20243,000 in 2024
ONS figures for St Albans 001 each September: 2015 11,000 · 2016 11,000 · 2017 12,000 · 2018 14,000 · 2019 13,000 · 2020 13,000 · 2021 15,000 · 2022 3,500 · 2023 3,000 · 2024 3,000. Counted where people work, not where they live; a person with two jobs counts twice. ONS rounds a figure of about 3,000 to the nearest 500 (1,000 where a few businesses dominate), so a small neighbourhood moves in steps and one year's change means little.
- Jobs within 5 km, 2015 → 202416,000 · -42% since 2019
Each September, over the same ground: 2015 22,000 · 2016 23,000 · 2017 24,000 · 2018 26,000 · 2019 27,000 · 2020 26,000 · 2021 28,000 · 2022 16,000 · 2023 16,000 · 2024 16,000. The change covers all of them. Our own sums of ONS's rounded neighbourhood figures; their rounding errors largely cancel, so the change is judged against the combined rounding.
- Jobs in St Albans, East, England, 2019 → 2024-13% · +4% · +5%
St Albans 77,000 → 67,000; East 2,821,000 → 2,941,000; England 26,792,000 → 28,080,000. ONS BRES, jobs at workplaces each September, every industry but agriculture, forestry and fishing.
- Fastest-growing industries within 5 km, 2019 → 2024Education +21% (1,800 → 2,200)
Growing by more than ONS's rounding allows: Education +21% (1,800 → 2,200). Falling: Business administration and support -87% (11,000 → 1,400), Professional, scientific and technical -31% (4,100 → 2,800). Largest: Professional, scientific and technical 2,800, Education 2,200, Health 1,700. Broad industrial groups (SIC 2007) with at least 2% of the jobs in 2019.
- Anti-social behaviour, the 12 months to August 2024 → the 12 months to August 2026110 → 71 (-35%) vs St Albans -4%
Police.uk reports of anti-social behaviour (noise, nuisance, rowdiness) in St Albans 001, counted over the same months and police forces as recorded crime; they are not crimes. It tends to move with recorded crime, which is counted separately, and forces record it differently, so only the change against the borough is read. Changes in how reports are taken or recorded can move it as much as real change.
- Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) in the air, 2019 → 202413.6 → 9.1 µg/m³ (-33%) vs St Albans -35% · East of England -36% · England -32%
Defra's modelled background annual mean for the 1 km squares of St Albans 001's postcodes (our own average, each square weighted by its postcodes). Fine particles (PM2.5): 10.5 → 7.3 µg/m³ (-30%) against -31% across St Albans; mostly carried in from further away, so shown, not counted. NO₂ comes mostly from road traffic, so a faster fall than the council's can follow cleaner vehicles, fewer journeys or new traffic schemes nearby. Background levels leave out the extra pollution right beside a busy road. Each year is modelled with that year's emissions and checked against that year's measurements, so part of any change can come from the model; the council shares the same model, which is why only the gap against it is counted. 2020 was lower everywhere during the lockdowns.
- Long-term empty homes in St Albans, October 20251.0% of homes, up from 0.9% in 2019 (East of England 1.1%, England 1.2%)
614 homes in St Albans had been empty for more than six months in October 2025, out of 63,557 homes (the dwelling stock at 31 March 2025). In October 2019: 543. From the council tax base: homes liable for council tax and empty for over six months. Homes empty for reasons that carry an exemption (such as probate or a stay in a care home) are not in this count, and the count moves with how the council classifies and charges empty homes (councils in England may charge a premium on homes empty for a year or more from April 2024, two years before), so a sudden jump can be a change in recording. A share well above the region's can mean weak demand or homes waiting for sale or repair; this is the whole council, not this street. Shown for context, never counted.
- Fly-tipping in St Albans, 2021/22 → 2024/254.2 → 6.1 per 1,000 people (+45%) · East of England +29% · England +11%
919 fly-tipping incidents dealt with by St Albans in 2024/25 (Defra), against a mid-year population of 151,012. St Albans counts every incident it deals with. Councils record fly-tips on different bases (every incident they deal with, or only those reported by the public), so a trend is read only across years counted the same way, and councils are best compared with themselves. Defra's region and England figures include its estimates for missing returns. Shown for context, never counted; amber only when it has risen 25% or more over 3 years and is above the region.
- Premium brands within 800 m0
0 new since tracking began on 2026-09-08. Brands such as Gail's, Waitrose and Joe & the Juice tend to open where incomes are rising.
- Budget brands within 800 m0
0 new since tracking began. Brands such as Greggs, Iceland and fried-chicken chains.
- Home improvement applications vs borough24.0 vs 16.6 a year per 1,000 households
18 householder applications within 250 m over 3 years, for about 250 households (Census 2021), against the whole of St Albans. Only this borough's own applications are counted, because boroughs label householder work very differently. Read from our copy of UK PlanIt (extensions, lofts, dormers, basements and other owners' work on their homes, as described in each application).
- Premium home works vs borough1 in 3 years
1 garden office or room within 250 m. Not compared: too few premium applications either way to compare. Applications of the last 3 years for basements and cellars, swimming pools, garden offices and rooms, orangeries, tennis and padel courts, home cinemas and gyms, and wine cellars, read from each description with a reviewed list of words; businesses, clubs, new flats, HMOs and paperwork on earlier permissions are left out (recorded by PlanIt). Counted towards rising affluence at 1.5× the council's rate or more, when more than chance would explain; a lower rate is never counted the other way.
- Larger schemes approved within 500 m, last 3 yearsNone recorded
Larger schemes (10 or more homes, or PlanIt's large applications) approved in the last 3 years with the number of homes stated, one per site (its latest approval); homes as each application states them, not net of homes replaced (recorded by PlanIt). Shown for context, not counted: an approval is a plan, and homes can take years to build.
- Cafés, creative and fitness businesses registered here, last 3 years5 · 2.6 vs 1.7 a year per 1,000 households
0 cafés, restaurants and bars, 4 design, architecture, arts and media, 1 fitness and wellbeing. From each company's declared business codes (a reviewed list), against the whole borough. These types often arrive early where an area is changing, but a registration is not proof that a business trades here.
- New companies registered here, last 3 years23 · 11.8 vs 14.5 a year per 1,000 households
Companies still on the register with a registered office in this small area (Companies House snapshot 2026-10-01), per Census 2021 household, against the whole borough. Addresses holding 50 or more companies (formation agents, accountants, virtual offices) are left out. A registered office is not always where a business trades.
- Local businesses by line of businesstech and professional services 35% · property and letting 15% · construction and trades 12% · health and personal care 11%
Tech and professional services: 30 here (35%), 29% across St Albans; Property and letting: 13 here (15%), 11.2% across St Albans; Construction and trades: 10 here (12%), 9.1% across St Albans; Health and personal care: 9 here (11%), 7.7% across St Albans; Creative and media: 7 here (8%), 7.2% across St Albans; Shops, wholesale and motor trade: 4 here (5%), 9.3% across St Albans; Finance and holding companies: 3 here (4%), 3.3% across St Albans; Hospitality and food: 1 here (1%), 4.3% across St Albans; Other activities: 6 here (7%), 14.6% across St Albans; Dormant or not stated: 2 here (2%), 4.4% across St Albans. Each company counts once, by the first business code (SIC 2007) it declares, grouped on a reviewed list. Registered offices only: a business can trade elsewhere, and many small companies are run from home.
- New companies each year, still registered2021 1 · 2022 2 · 2023 1 · 2024 12 · 2025 7 · 2026 4
Companies with a registered office in this small area by the year they were incorporated, counting only those still on the register in October 2026; across St Albans: 2021 429, 2022 457, 2023 578, 2024 721, 2025 901, 2026 805. Older years look lower partly because companies close.

Yoga and pilates studios: 0 live here (0 new in 3 years), 11 across St Albans (3 new); Dog groomers, walkers and pet care: 0 live here (0 new in 3 years), 3 across St Albans (0 new); Architects and interior designers: 3 live here (0 new in 3 years), 57 across St Albans (10 new); Coffee roasters and specialist coffee: 2 live here (0 new in 3 years), 7 across St Albans (3 new); Florists: 0 live here (0 new in 3 years), 5 across St Albans (3 new); Wine merchants and wine bars: 0 live here (0 new in 3 years), 5 across St Albans (2 new); Personal trainers and fitness studios: 2 live here (1 new in 3 years), 15 across St Albans (3 new); Independent bakeries: 0 live here (0 new in 3 years), 4 across St Albans (1 new) (shown, not counted: shown, not counted, until the owner decides: on the September 2026 snapshot new bakeries per household are three times as common in the most deprived tenth of England as in the least deprived (0.06 against 0.02 per 1,000 households in 3 years), so counting them makes the signal worse at telling a neighbourhood more educated than its borough (it reads up 4.6 times as often in the top fifth as the bottom fifth with bakeries, 7 times without). Set 'counted' to true to count them). Each company counts once, in the first kind it fits, from its business codes (SIC 2007) and the words in its name; only active companies count. Beauty and aesthetics are not counted: beauty and aesthetics (hairdressers, barbers, nail and lash bars, aesthetics and skin clinics) are left out: on the September 2026 snapshot new ones per household are 2.3 times as common in the most deprived tenth of England as in the least deprived (0.43 against 0.19 per 1,000 households in 3 years, 11,009 in all), so they would count against the direction the signal measures.
- Private rents in St Albans, Aug 2026£1,931 a month · +2.9% in a year
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, average monthly rent across all property sizes, borough level (not this street). East of England: £1,289, +3.5% in a year.
- Flat prices lately, 2022–2023 → 2024–2025+11% here vs +3% St Albans
Average of yearly resale medians, weighted by sales (46 then 41 sales here). An earlier and noisier signal than the 3-year comparison above; a gap under 5 points is ordinary variation.
- House prices lately, 2022–2023 → 2024–2025+10% here vs +1% St Albans
Average of yearly resale medians, weighted by sales (164 then 178 sales here). An earlier and noisier signal than the 3-year comparison above; a gap under 5 points is ordinary variation.
- Flat prices over ten years, 2013–2015 → 2023–2025+33% here vs +37% St Albans
Average of yearly resale medians, weighted by sales (71 then 57 sales here), the same resales as above over a longer span. Shown for context, not counted: over ten years the cheapest neighbourhoods' prices rise fastest in percentage terms from a low base, so it would read rising in many low-priced town centres without helping places known to be changing.
- House prices over ten years, 2013–2015 → 2023–2025+40% here vs +50% St Albans
Average of yearly resale medians, weighted by sales (305 then 258 sales here), the same resales as above over a longer span. Shown for context, not counted: over ten years the cheapest neighbourhoods' prices rise fastest in percentage terms from a low base, so it would read rising in many low-priced town centres without helping places known to be changing.
- Homes sold, 2022–2023 → 2024–2025+4% here vs -1% St Albans
210 then 219 standard resales in this neighbourhood (houses and flats). Rising sales often show demand before prices move; interest rates move every area together, so the gap against the borough matters.
- Rents against prices in St Albans, 2015 → 2025Houses: rents +51%, prices +36% · flats: rents +51%, prices +27%
House rents have risen faster than house prices, so yields have gone up; flat rents have risen faster than flat prices, so yields have gone up. Rising yields often draw buy-to-let investment. Yearly averages of ONS monthly private rents against HM Land Registry's yearly median resale prices for the whole borough, the same figures as the chart; not this street.
- Estimated gross rental yield in St Albans, 2015 → 2025Houses 3.2% → 3.6% · flats 4.4% → 5.2%
Houses: 2015 3.2%, 2016 3.1%, 2017 3.0%, 2018 3.1%, 2019 3.1%, 2020 3.2%, 2021 3.1%, 2022 3.0%, 2023 3.1%, 2024 3.3%, 2025 3.6%. Flats: 2015 4.4%, 2016 4.1%, 2017 4.2%, 2018 4.2%, 2019 4.3%, 2020 4.1%, 2021 4.3%, 2022 4.3%, 2023 4.7%, 2024 4.9%, 2025 5.2%. Each year: 12 × the average monthly private rent ÷ the median resale price (a house rent is the simple average of terraced, semi-detached and detached rents). A rough borough-level estimate that sets two different official sources side by side: the ONS index of what tenants pay across all private rents (existing tenancies as well as new lets) and the median price of the homes that sold (HM Land Registry). Before costs, empty months and mortgage interest; not the yield on this home, and never a valuation.
- House prices against the 2 neighbourhoods around it13% cheaper than them in 2023-2025
In 2017-2019 it was 12% cheaper than them. The gap has barely moved. Resale medians, neighbourhoods whose centres are within 3 km, weighted by sales.
- Resale prices In line with the borough
Change against St Albans: houses +4 points, flats +10 points.
- Recent price momentum Towards rising affluence
Flats +11% here against +3% across the borough; Houses +10% here against +1% across the borough, 2022–2023 → 2024–2025.
- Prices over ten years Context, not counted
Context, not counted: over ten years the cheapest neighbourhoods' prices rise fastest in percentage terms from a low base, so it would read rising in many low-priced town centres without helping places known to be changing. Flats +33% here against +37% across St Albans; Houses +40% here against +50% across St Albans, 2013–2015 → 2023–2025. A gap under 10 points is ordinary variation over ten years.
- Degree-educated residents In line with the borough
2011 → 2021: +8 points here against +7 across the borough.
- Residents aged 25 to 29 In line with the borough
2011 → 2021: 0 points here against -1 across the borough.
- Single-person households under 65 In line with the borough
2011 → 2021: 0 points here against -1 across the borough.
- Recorded crime In line with the borough
Recorded crime changed +6% here against +12% across the borough. Falling faster than the borough counts towards rising affluence; rising faster counts against.
- Anti-social behaviour Towards rising affluence
Reports of anti-social behaviour changed -35% here (110 → 71) against -4% across St Albans, the 12 months to August 2026 against the 12 months to August 2024. Falling faster than across St Albans by 20 points or more counts towards rising affluence. It tends to move with recorded crime, which is counted as its own signal, so the two often agree; forces record anti-social behaviour differently, so it is compared only with the borough.
- Deprivation ranking Context, not counted
Context, not counted: the income domain below is counted instead, so income counts once. 2019 → 2025 national position moved +0.7 percentile points; the borough average moved -0.4.
- Income deprivation ranking Towards rising affluence
2019 → 2025 national position on the income domain moved +1.4 percentile points; the St Albans average moved -3.7. The overall ranking, which already includes income, moved +0.7 and is shown beside it for context only.
- Household income In line with the borough
Average household income 2011/12 → 2022/23: +33% here against +31% for the typical neighbourhood in St Albans (the median of 18 others with unchanged boundaries). A gap under 10 points is ordinary variation.
- People on Universal Credit In line with the borough
May 2023 → May 2026: 182 → 221 here (+21%) against 6,921 → 7,962 across St Albans (+15%), a gap of +6 points. People on Universal Credit (DWP Stat-Xplore). Leaves out people DWP marks as moved across from older benefits by Move to UC (36 here and 1,908 across St Albans in May 2026), whose arrival would otherwise read as more need. Rising faster than the borough counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.
- Children in low-income families The other way
2021/22 → 2024/25: 58 → 67 here (+16%) against 2,407 → 2,344 across St Albans (−3%), a gap of +18 points. Children under 16 in relative low-income families, before housing costs (DWP and HMRC, Stat-Xplore). Rising faster than the borough counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.
- Households getting help with rent The other way
March 2023 → March 2026: 162 → 198 here (+22%) against 6,933 → 7,433 across St Albans (+7%), a gap of +15 points. Housing Benefit and Universal Credit housing entitlement together, every tenure, so claims moving from one to the other are not counted as change (DWP Stat-Xplore). Rising faster than the borough counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.
- Pension Credit The other way
February 2023 → March 2026 (the nearest earlier quarter DWP publishes): 55 → 62 here (+13%) against 1,454 → 1,486 across St Albans (+2%), a gap of +11 points. Pension Credit claimants (DWP Stat-Xplore). Rising faster than the borough counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.
- Council Tax Support (borough against England) In line with the borough
June 2023 → June 2026: 5,951 → 5,910 claimants across St Albans (−1%) against 3,737,417 → 3,635,623 across England (−3%), a gap of +2 points. Local Council Tax Support claimants, pensioners and working age together (MHCLG), as a share of households: the borough's change, the same for every neighbourhood in it. Each council in England sets its own scheme for working-age people, so a change can also follow a change to the scheme. Rising faster than England counts the other way; falling faster counts towards rising affluence; within 10 points is in line.
- Plug-in car growth In line with the borough
Share of privately kept cars that are plug-in, June 2023 → June 2026: +4.6 points here (4.9% → 9.5%) against +4.6 across St Albans (3.6% → 8.2%). A gap under 1 point is ordinary variation.
- Schools improving The other way
Ofsted: 3 of 8 nearby schools compared improved at their last inspection, 0 declined (net +38 points); across St Albans, 11 of 53 improved and 5 declined (net +11). Results, weighted by pupils: primary results (expected standard in reading, writing and maths) -2.1 points here (6 schools) against +4.4 across St Albans (2022/23 → 2024/25); GCSE Attainment 8 +0.5 points here (3 schools) against +0.7 across St Albans (2022/23 → 2024/25). Nearby schools are falling behind the rest of St Albans, which counts the other way.
- Air quality In line with the borough
Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) in the air, 2019 → 2024: -33% here (13.6 → 9.1 µg/m³) against -35% across St Albans (15.8 → 10.3). A gap under 3 points is ordinary variation. Defra's modelled background levels, averaged over the 1 km squares of the neighbourhood's postcodes; the extra pollution right beside a busy road is not included.
- Solar and heat pumps In line with the borough
Certificates for existing homes recording solar panels or a heat pump, July 2023 to June 2026: 1.6% here (0.9% in the 3 years before) against 2.5% across St Albans (1.3% before). It counts towards rising affluence only when ahead of St Albans by 1.5 points and growing faster by 1 point; behind or slower is not counted the other way, because flats rarely get panels or heat pumps.
- New-build activity In line with the borough
24 new homes certified here from July 2023 to June 2026, 8.4 per 1,000 households, against St Albans 14. At least 2 times the council's rate, and at least 30 homes, counts towards rising affluence; fewer is not counted the other way.
- Lifestyle businesses In line with the borough
1 new lifestyle company in 3 years here (0.3 per 1,000 households) against 0.4 across St Albans (0.9×); the St Albans rate would give 1.2 here. Fewer than 5 new here: in line (too few to stand out).
- Premium and budget brands Not measurable here
Only 0 premium and 0 budget brand premises within 800 m: too few to compare (common where independents dominate).
- Home improvement applications In line with the borough
24.0 a year per 1,000 households nearby against 16.6 across St Albans (1.4×).
- Premium home works Not measurable here
Not compared: too few premium applications either way to compare.
- New independent cafés and restaurants Not measurable here
Tracking began 2026-09-08; openings are compared once 90 days of weekly snapshots exist (42 days so far).
- Homes improving their energy rating Context, not counted
Context, not counted: Selective re-certification, assessment changes, grants and the starting housing stock can change this rate without establishing rising local affluence. 41% of 75 homes re-certified in the last 3 years improved their rating, against 48% across the borough.
- New companies registered Context, not counted
Context, not counted: new company registrations read up more often where incomes fell behind the borough than where they rose, so they are shown but not counted. 11.8 a year per 1,000 households in this small area against 14.5 across the borough (0.8×).
- New cafés, creative and fitness businesses Context, not counted
Context, not counted: it comes from the same Companies House registrations, which read up more often where incomes fell behind the borough than where they rose. 2.6 a year per 1,000 households here against 1.7 across the borough (1.5×).
- Catching up with neighbouring areas In line with the borough
13% cheaper than them in 2023-2025; in 2017-2019 it was 12% cheaper than them. The gap has barely moved. Resale medians, neighbourhoods whose centres are within 3 km, weighted by sales.
- Homes selling In line with the borough
Sales 2022–2023 → 2024–2025: +4% here against -1% across the borough.
- New stations nearby In line with the borough
No new rail, Underground, metro or tram stop within 1.5 km since 2016.
- Borough against the region Context, not counted
Context, not counted: Council-wide momentum is shown separately: it does not establish change within this neighbourhood. St Albans against the East of England: prices +12% against +17% (UK House Price Index, 2017–2019 → 2023–2025); household income +33% against +34% for the typical neighbourhood (2011/12 → 2022/23); income deprivation ranks -3.7 against -1.2 percentile points of national position (2019 → 2025; up is less deprived); residents with a degree +7 against +6 points (2011 → 2021). 0 of 4 point towards rising affluence and 1 the other way, so it is keeping pace with the East of England. The same council-wide context for every neighbourhood in St Albans; shown separately from local change.
- Jobs nearby Context, not counted
Context, not counted: jobs are shown beside the signals and do not move the indication. Jobs within 5 km -42% from 2019 to 2024, against St Albans -13%. Growing 5 points faster than the borough would point towards rising affluence; slower, the other way.

Nearest Montessori nursery: none within 5 km; nearest forest-school or outdoor nursery: Fingertips Woodland Nursery, 1.0 km (Ofsted: Outstanding), in a straight line. A typical St Albans home has 0.9 Montessori nurseries and 0.2 forest-school and outdoor nurseries within 2 km. Childcare on non-domestic premises on Ofsted's early years register (England) whose name says Montessori, or forest school, forest kindergarten or an outdoor, nature or woodland nursery; a name saying both counts as Montessori. By name only: a nursery that follows these methods without saying so in its name is not counted. Steiner kindergartens are not counted separately (three on the register in June 2026). On the June 2026 register, 0.5% of nurseries in the most deprived tenth of England are Montessori by name, 2.2 to 2.6% in the least deprived three tenths.

Curry houses are restaurants and takeaways tagged with a South Asian cuisine (Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Nepalese, Sri Lankan and similar); other fast food is any other takeaway or fast food counter. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers: this means none is mapped, not that none exist.
- Places of worship within 1 kmNone mapped within 1 km
Nearest mapped: St Nicholas's Church (church), 1.0 km in a straight line. Places of worship as mapped on OpenStreetMap, grouped by the religion recorded on the map: churches include chapels and other Christian places of worship; "other or faith not recorded" covers multifaith centres, other faiths and places with no religion recorded. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers: this means none is mapped, not that none exist.
- High-end and budget brands nearbyWithin 1 km: premium 0 · mainstream 1 · discount 0
Local counts use only branches within 1 km. Destination context (searched up to 5 km; farther branches do not count locally): Nearest high-end: M&S Food 1.2 km, Waitrose 1.2 km. No budget brand mapped within 5 km. Branches of well-known supermarket, food shop and café brands mapped on OpenStreetMap, placed by the weight in the reviewed brand list (Waitrose, M&S Food, GAIL's and others premium; Aldi, Lidl, Asda, Iceland and others discount), straight-line distance. Positioning describes the brand, not the shop, its staff or its customers.
- High street positioning (experimental)Too few branded places to say
Only 2 listed chain branches are mapped within 1 km; at least 5 are needed. Wider destination context: within 5 km 3.0 (23 branded places); across the UK 2.6 (46,133). The average weight, on the reviewed brand list's scale (1 budget, 2 value, 3 mainstream, 4 premium, 5 luxury), of the chain branches mapped on OpenStreetMap within 1 km, each branch counted once, including branded hotels within that same 1 km. Experimental and chains only: independent shops, cafés and restaurants have no weight and are not counted, so a high street of independents can read low or have too few to say. It describes brands and supplies the optional high street input of the experimental Neighbourhood score; it does not feed the verdict or the area's direction. Wider averages are destination context, not like-for-like local comparisons.
- High-end and budget fast food nearbyWithin 1 km: premium 0 · mainstream 0 · budget 0
Local counts use only branches within 1 km. Destination context (searched up to 5 km, or up to 30 km when none is mapped; farther branches do not count locally): No premium fast food or grab-and-go chain mapped within 5 km; the nearest is Pret A Manger, 6.1 km. No budget fast food or grab-and-go chain mapped within 5 km; the nearest is Greggs, 5.3 km. Chains are placed by their weight in the reviewed brand list: premium grab-and-go and burgers (Pret A Manger, Leon, itsu, Wasabi, Farmer J, Five Guys), mainstream (Tortilla, Chipotle, Domino's, Papa John's), value (McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Subway) and budget (Greggs and chicken shop chains such as Chicken Cottage); independent takeaways and cafés are not placed. Positioning describes the brand, not the place, its staff or its customers. As mapped on OpenStreetMap by volunteers; straight-line distances.
- High-end and budget restaurants nearbyWithin 1 km: high-end 0 · mid-range 1 · budget 0 · independent or unlisted 2
Local counts use only branches within 1 km. Destination context (searched up to 5 km, or up to 30 km when none is mapped; farther branches do not count locally): No high-end restaurant chain mapped within 5 km; the nearest is The Ivy, 8.4 km. Nearest budget: Harvester, 3.9 km. Chains are placed by their weight in the reviewed brand list, from their usual prices: high-end where two courses and a drink usually cost about £50 or more a head (Hawksmoor, Gaucho, The Ivy, Nobu), mid-range about £20 to £50 (PizzaExpress, Wagamama, Nando's) and budget about £20 or less (Toby Carvery, Harvester, Wetherspoon, Pizza Hut), pub-dining chains included. Independent restaurants have no open price data, so their prices are not guessed. Curry houses and fish and chip shops are counted in the takeaways row unless they belong to a listed chain. Positioning describes the brand, not the restaurant, its staff or its customers. As mapped on OpenStreetMap by volunteers; straight-line distances.
- High-end and budget hotels nearbyWithin 5 km: luxury 1 · premium 0 · mainstream 0 · value 1 · budget 0
Nearest high-end: Luton Hoo (5★ as mapped), 4.0 km. Nearest budget: Premier Inn (value brand), 4.0 km. Stars as mapped within 5 km: 5★ 1 · 4★ 0 · 3★ 0 · 2★ 0 · 1★ 0. The weight is the brand's usual price positioning in the reviewed brand list, from 5 (luxury: Four Seasons, InterContinental, Mandarin Oriental) through 4 (premium: Hilton, Marriott, Radisson Blu) and 3 (mainstream: Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Novotel) to 2 (value: Premier Inn, Travelodge, Holiday Inn Express) and 1 (budget: ibis budget, easyHotel) or, for a hotel on no listed brand, its stars as mapped (5★ counts as 5, 1★ as 1). Stars are tagged by OpenStreetMap volunteers and are not an official rating: the AA and tourist board gradings are not published as open data. Guest houses, B&Bs and hostels are not counted. Positioning describes the brand, not the hotel's staff or guests. Straight-line distances.

- Height above sea levelAbout 124 m · higher than about 95% of homes in St Albans
Ground height above sea level (Ordnance Datum Newlyn) at the postcode's centre point (choose the home on the map for its own point), read between the four nearest points of OS Terrain 50's 50 m grid (OS Terrain 50, July 2026 edition; ground surveyed from the air in June 2023). Ordnance Survey states the grid is accurate to about 4 m. It is the ground, not the floor: an upstairs flat sits higher. St Albans' homes stand from about 65 m to about 141 m, half of them below about 98 m: 58,975 households in 444 Census 2021 output areas, each counted at its area's population-weighted centre (our own ladder). Across England, it is higher than about 85% of homes. Higher ground is something some buyers prefer (views, drainage); it is not a flood figure: flooding is in Environmental checks.
- Lie of the landFalls about 15 m to the south-south-west within 200 m
The ground falls about 15 m to the south-south-west within 200 m of the home's point, its steepest fall of 16 directions looked along. Ground that falls away like this can open a view, but buildings, trees and the home's own windows decide what is seen: check on a visit. From OS Terrain 50, looking along 16 directions out to 200 m; a fall of 10 m or more (1 in 20) counts as falling away, which about one home in four in Great Britain has.

What is on the high street
Premises within 800 m of the home in a straight line, as each source records them on the date shown, beside what a typical home in the council has within the same distance. They describe the premises, never the people nearby, and are never scored or counted towards the area's direction.
High street mix (experimental): Too few to say · a typical St Albans home: too few to say. 0 upmarket and 0 budget places weighed within 800 m. Takeaways are 0% of places to eat (0 takeaways, 2 restaurants and cafés), no more than the restaurants and cafés, so they lean neither way. A typical St Albans home: too few to say.
Experimental. Each row weighs from −2 (budget) to +2 (upmarket), shown beside it; rows that weigh 0 lean neither way. The balance is the sum of each count times its weight over the sum of each count times its weight's size, from −1 to +1: leans upmarket from +0.30, leans budget from −0.30, with at least 5 places weighed. Takeaways lean budget only where they outnumber restaurants and cafés, and then only the extra ones. It describes the shops, never the people who run or use them, and is never used in the verdict, What matters, questions, the area's direction or any score.

Recorded crime
The map shows up to 50 returned anonymised locations and the list shows the top 8 categories. Counts are not population-adjusted, anti-social behaviour is not a crime total, and coordinates cannot attribute an event to a home. Crime detail: Police.uk street-level archive (Open Government Licence v3.0); outcomes are the latest recorded for each crime and change as cases conclude. Crime rates in context: every area counts the same 12 months, crimes excluding anti-social behaviour and the same police forces (British Transport Police, Dyfed-Powys Police, Gloucestershire Constabulary and Northumbria Police are left out everywhere because their Police.uk data is incomplete in the months compared, so the areas they police are not in the regional or national rates), over Census 2021 residents.

CCTV cameras: © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL 1.0), as mapped by volunteers. Councils publish few camera positions and the police none, so more cameras exist than are mapped.
Schools
GIAS establishment status at the source date. Approximate school coordinates converted from British National Grid. This is not a catchment, admissions or capacity assessment. Ofsted outcomes from Ofsted's monthly management information; report-card grades (from November 2025) and previous-framework grades are shown as published and never converted into one another. Fee-paying schools: open independent schools in Get Information about Schools within 10 km in a straight line (independent special schools counted apart; city technology colleges, which are state-funded, left out). The DfE does not publish fees. Ofsted inspects non-association independent schools: outcomes from Ofsted's non-association independent schools management information as at 31 July 2026, with whether the school met the independent school standards. Schools in an association are inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, whose reports are copyright and not open data, so they are named but not graded. Applications and offers: Department for Education, Primary and secondary school applications and offers (school-level figures, entry in September 2024 to 2026): the position on national offer day (16 April for reception, 1 March for year 7), before late applications, waiting lists and appeals. Places offered are the offers made that day, not the school's admission number (children with an education, health and care plan are placed separately), and naming a school does not mean an applicant met its admission criteria. How far away the last child offered a place lived (the "last distance offered") is set by each admission authority and not published nationally, so it is not shown or estimated here: see the council's or school's admissions pages.

Area context
Aggregate area statistics, not facts about this household or the selected building. Residents in households counts people, not households. Population density source: https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/output/census/2021/census2021-ts006.zip. Census disclosure controls can cause small inconsistencies between counts. England and Wales census vintage only. Contains ONS data under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Ethnic group, religion, country of birth, year of arrival, English, passports, national identity, main language, cars, travel to work, health, type of home and bedrooms: Census 2021 and, where the question matches, Census 2011, from the Office for National Statistics via Nomis, under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The neighbourhood is the 2021 middle layer super output area; 2011 figures are shown only where its boundary did not change. A census counts residents on census day, so comparing two shows how the mix changed, not who moved in or out. These figures describe the area as a whole, say nothing about any household, and are not used in any judgement, score or summary in this report. Residents by age each year: Office for National Statistics, mid-year population estimates for small areas (2021-based), from Nomis.

Work and benefits
Universal Credit: DWP, People on Universal Credit and its Move to UC indicator (Stat-Xplore, May 2013 to May 2026). National Insurance registrations: DWP, NINo registrations to adult overseas nationals entering the UK (Stat-Xplore, 2016/17 to 2025/26). Children in low-income families: DWP and HMRC, relative low income before housing costs (Stat-Xplore, 2021/22 to 2024/25). Pension Credit: DWP (Stat-Xplore, February 2019 to March 2026). Help with rent: DWP, Housing Benefit (from April 2018) and Households on Universal Credit, housing entitlement by tenure (Stat-Xplore, March 2019 to March 2026). Claimant Count: ONS via Nomis (January 2013 to September 2026; neighbourhoods on 2021 areas from January 2026, on 2011 areas before, joined only where the ONS exact-fit lookup gives the same ground).

Shares and rates use Census 2021 residents and households (Office for National Statistics, Open Government Licence v3.0) and mid-year population estimates (ONS, or NRS for Scotland). DWP rounds and suppresses small numbers. These figures describe the area as a whole and say nothing about any household. National Insurance registrations are not used in any judgement, score or summary in this report. Universal Credit, children in low-income families, help with rent and Pension Credit are also set against the borough as signals in How the area is changing, and Council Tax Support (MHCLG) the borough against England (owner's decision, 26 September 2026: income trends count towards the gentrification reading); here they are only shown, and they never feed a score. People receiving PIP are shown separately: PIP is disability support, not unemployment or evidence of wealth, and it does not contribute to the gentrification reading (method revised 13 October 2026). Benefit changes can reflect eligibility, take-up and policy changes as well as economic conditions. The Claimant Count (ONS) is only shown: it is not among those signals. None of these feeds a score.
Traffic and road safety
Road safety data (STATS19) records personal-injury collisions reported to the police; damage-only collisions are not included and locations are approximate.

How the area is changing
Experimental. The direction dial lists separate signals, and the gentrification indication weighs them (1 to 5, from our reviewed list, by how directly each tracks rising incomes and values) and always gives the plain count beside the weighted balance; one signal compares the borough itself with its region, and in England's most income-deprived small areas a clear or strong reading needs prices and incomes both rising; it is not a gentrification score: rising prices, new cafés and falling crime can each have other causes, and none says who is moving in or out. Prices are HM Land Registry resales (standard sales, excluding new builds), pooled into 3-year windows and compared with the whole borough so city-wide growth is not mistaken for local change. Census 2011 and 2021 shares compare the same measures (qualifications of residents aged 16+, household tenure); occupation class is left out because its age range changed between the censuses. Neighbourhoods whose boundaries changed in ways that cannot be matched exactly are not compared. Crime is Police.uk street-level data (Open Government Licence v3.0) with anti-social behaviour excluded; locations are anonymised to nearby points and forces with missing months are left out. Food premises are from the FSA food hygiene register (ratings are not used); likely chains are names on a reviewed list of chain and multi-site operators found at 15 or more premises across 12 or more council areas, so a small local chain counts as independent and an unusual branch name can be missed.
