OAKWOOD STREET, SA13 1BE House Prices & Local Information

SA13 1BE is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Oakwood Street, 0.4km from Port Talbot in Port Talbot. Administratively it sits within Port Talbot ward and the Aberavon constituency.

For families considering a move, SA13 1BE represents a classic working-class terrace area — densely packed streets, low ethnic diversity. By day, the area transitions to a non-metropolitan suburban areas character: white, female workforce with low qualifications, working locally. 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. 69% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 72 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: With prices averaging £93k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, up 30.1% year-on-year. 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.
