CASTLE STREET, SA1 1HZ House Prices & Local Information

SA1 1HZ is an up-and-coming urban area on Castle Street, 0.2km from Strand in Swansea. Administratively it sits within Castle ward and the Swansea West constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, SA1 1HZ is a diverse renting area with many ethnic minority families, mostly European-born. By day, the area transitions to a public administration and security character: public administration and security with mainly white workforces. 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. 48% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Safety: Crime rates are high (544 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 1HZ are sourced from Output Area W00010090 (shared with 104 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
