CF72 8BE is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on James Terrace, 0.1km from Cross Inn in Llantrisant. Administratively it sits within Llantrisant and Talbot Green ward and the Pontypridd constituency.

For families considering a move, CF72 8BE represents a spacious suburb popular with older working households approaching retirement. By day, the area transitions to a traditional countryside character: mainly white older workforce, self-employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing, with some construction. An average age of 42 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 89% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 17 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.

Census 2021 statistics for CF72 8BE are sourced from Output Area W00006295 (shared with 21 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
