An affordable area with active regeneration, CF48 1AY is a neighbourhood with pockets of retirees, often in communal or managed housing. By day, the area transitions to a public administration and security character: public administration and security with mainly white workforces. An average age of 43 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 77% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 12% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.
Safety: Crime rates are above average at 134 incidents per 1,000 residents — worth reviewing the crime breakdown below. 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.
