RUSSELL TERRACE, SA31 1SY House Prices & Local Information

SA31 1SY is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Russell Terrace, 0.4km from Trevaughan in Carmarthen. Administratively it sits within Carmarthen Town North and South ward and the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency.

This is a strong family neighbourhood — a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. The daytime character shifts — low density wholesale and retail in mostly white areas, often on urban fringe or close to transport nodes. The 40 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 68% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 41 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: With prices averaging £150k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, down 8.8% 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.
