UPPER THOMAS STREET, CF47 0BN House Prices & Local Information

CF47 0BN is an up-and-coming urban area on Upper Thomas Street, 0.3km from Pontmorlais in Merthyr Tydfil. Administratively it sits within Town ward and the Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney constituency.

This is a strong family neighbourhood — a mature area with an older, predominantly retired population. The daytime character shifts — low density wholesale and retail in mostly white areas, often on urban fringe or close to transport nodes. The 45 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 64% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are high (142 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. Property: With prices averaging £114k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the 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.

Census 2021 statistics for CF47 0BN are sourced from Output Area W00006891 (shared with 22 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
