CF5 1AU House Prices & Local Information

CF5 1AU is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.1km from Canton in Cardiff. Administratively it sits within Canton ward and the Cardiff West constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, CF5 1AU is a working-class neighbourhood with strong employment ties. By day, the area transitions to a healthcare and public administration character: major hospitals and public administration with diverse workforces. An average age of 37 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 27% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 42 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. 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.
