PENTRE COTTAGES, SA31 1DB House Prices & Local Information

SA31 1DB is an up-and-coming urban area on Pentre Cottages, 0.3km from Carmarthen in Carmarthen. Administratively it sits within Carmarthen Town North and South ward and the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a classic working-class terrace area — densely packed streets, low ethnic diversity. Work and footfall patterns mark this as a town fringe countryside zone — mainly white, agricultural workforce, on the edges of smaller towns. This is a stable, socially diverse area (average age 41) — accessible for a wide range of households, from young families to empty nesters. 42% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime rates are high (167 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 SA31 1DB are sourced from Output Area W00003445 (shared with 12 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
