CF10 1AY is an up-and-coming urban area on Duke Street, 0.5km from Cathays Park in Cardiff. Administratively it sits within Cathays ward and the Cardiff Central constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — urban high streets with mixed ethnicity and businesses. With an average age of just 24, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 78% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants. The area has a notably diverse population — 53% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Cardiff.

Safety: Crime rates are high (1067 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. Property: Average house prices are around £302k. 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.
