CF5 1AW House Prices & Local Information

CF5 1AW is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.2km from Canton in Cardiff. Administratively it sits within Canton ward and the Cardiff West constituency.

For families considering a move, CF5 1AW represents a high-density urban area of young, single, transient residents. By day, the area transitions to a healthcare and public administration character: major hospitals and public administration with diverse workforces. An average age of 36 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 71% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment. Employment levels are high (46% in full-time work) — a well-connected, economically active community.

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.
