LD2 3AA is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.1km from Llanfair-ym-Muallt in Builth Wells. Administratively it sits within Builth ward and the Brecon and Radnorshire constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — an area with a high proportion of elderly residents, often in communal housing. The daytime character shifts — mainly white, agricultural workforce, on the edges of smaller towns. The 43 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 47% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 61 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban 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 LD2 3AA are sourced from Output Area W00002299 (shared with 38 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
