MERTHYR ROAD, CF14 1DD House Prices & Local Information

This is a strong family neighbourhood — an area with a high proportion of elderly residents, often in communal housing. The daytime character shifts — traditional retail areas with professional services and self-employed, often in market towns and higher status areas. The 45 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 56% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 54 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
