SA1 1EP is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.3km from Strand in Swansea. Note: this is a large-user or commercial postcode — residential population data may be limited. Administratively it sits within Castle ward and the Swansea West constituency.
Within the SA1 district, this postcode is characterised by a diverse renting area with many ethnic minority families, mostly European-born. By day, the area transitions to a eat, drink and be merry character: areas dominated by food and entertainment. An average age of 38 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets.
Safety: Crime rates are high (474 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. 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 SA1 1EP are sourced from Output Area W00010090 (shared with 104 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
