SA9 1DB House Prices & Local Information

SA9 1DB is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.3km from Gurnos in Ystalyfera. Administratively it sits within Cwm-twrch ward and the Brecon and Radnorshire constituency.

This is a strong family neighbourhood — a diverse rural area with a mix of families, workers and retirees. 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 37) — accessible for a wide range of households, from young families to empty nesters. 62% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 27 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: With prices averaging £70k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area. 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.
