Exeter is a city in the county of Devon which is in Britain. The four districts can be briefly described as follows. District 1 was a long-established residential area near the city centre, with housing dating from the late nineteenth century. Originally working class, it now has a considerable middle class population with some student and other temporary accommodation. District 2 was a working-class housing estate dating from the 1930s, with mainly rented accommodation but some owner occupation. District 3 was the oldest part of a more recently developed, mainly middle-class, almost exclusively owner-occupied estate, dating from the 1960s. District 4 was the most recently developed part of a more sought-after middle-class residential area, with smaller but almost entirely owner-occupied properties dating from the 1970s and 1980s.
