Park Hill & Wybourn in Sheffield
Living in Park Hill & Wybourn
Sheffield 075 has the feel of a working Sheffield neighbourhood rather than a gentrifying one. With a deprivation score putting it in the second decile nationally, this is one of the more economically stretched parts of the city — but that cuts both ways. Property is genuinely cheap: the median sale price sits at around £193,000, well below Sheffield's citywide average, and the deposit-to-income ratio of three years is one of the more achievable figures you'll find anywhere in England.
The cost picture makes this area worth a hard look for first-time buyers and renters on modest incomes. Private renting accounts for just over a fifth of households, while social housing is the dominant tenure at around 42% — unusually high even by Sheffield standards. That social-housing concentration shapes the neighbourhood character: more long-term residents, less churn than the student-heavy zones closer to the universities.
Who actually lives here? It's a genuinely mixed neighbourhood. Around a third of residents are aged 18–34, suggesting a meaningful young-adult population, but the under-18 share (nearly 22%) signals families too. The ethnic diversity index of 50 points to a multicultural community — one of the more diverse pockets in Sheffield. Around 30% of residents hold a degree-level qualification, roughly in line with the city as a whole.
On the practical side, the nearest rail station is just over a kilometre away — roughly a 13-minute walk — and a tram stop is around 530 metres off, making public transport realistic without a car. That said, 40% of residents still drive to work, with only 17% using public transport. The neighbourhood has 100% gigabit broadband coverage, which is a genuine asset. See the streets and sub-areas below for more detail on specific pockets.

Frequently asked
- Is Sheffield 075 a nice place to live?
- It depends what you're prioritising. If affordability and value for money matter most, this neighbourhood delivers — property prices are low, deposits are achievable, and broadband is excellent. The trade-off is a crime rate more than double the national average and a below-average share of well-rated nearby schools. It suits buyers and renters on modest incomes who can look past those headline statistics.
- What is the rent in Sheffield 075?
- Rent figures here are estimates rather than official data — we scale from Sheffield council-level figures using local sale prices. Expect to pay below the Sheffield average for private lets, reflecting the area's median sale price of around £193,000. Private renting accounts for only around 22% of households; social housing dominates at 42%.
- Is Sheffield 075 safe?
- Crime runs high here — around 201 incidents per 1,000 residents per year, which is more than double the UK national rate of roughly 80 per 1,000. The neighbourhood sits in the second deprivation decile nationally, and those two factors tend to go together. It's the most significant concern for prospective residents and should be weighed carefully alongside the affordability benefits.
- What's the commute from Sheffield 075 to Sheffield city centre?
- The nearest tram stop is around 530 metres away and the mainline rail station is about 1,050 metres — a 13-minute walk. For longer journeys, Sheffield connects to Manchester in around 64 minutes and Birmingham in about 74 minutes by public transport. Around 26% of residents work from home, which is above average and reflects the area's full gigabit broadband coverage.
- Who lives in Sheffield 075?
- It's a genuinely mixed community — around a third of residents are aged 18–34, nearly 22% are under 18 (indicating a meaningful family population), and the ethnic diversity index of 50 makes it one of Sheffield's more multicultural areas. Social housing is the dominant tenure at 42%, pointing to a more settled, longer-term resident base than you'd find in the city's student zones.
- What schools are near Sheffield 075?
- There are 114 schools within 2 kilometres, so choice isn't lacking. However, only around 43% of nearby schools are rated Good or Outstanding — well below the national average of roughly 89%. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is about 3,900 metres away. Families should check individual Ofsted reports directly, as ratings can change between inspection cycles.
- Is Sheffield 075 a good area for first-time buyers?
- On pure affordability, yes. The median sale price is around £193,000 and the deposit-to-income ratio is approximately three years — one of the more achievable figures in England. The main considerations are the above-average crime rate and the neighbourhood's second-decile deprivation ranking, which affect both liveability and long-term resale prospects.
