CF10 2EH is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.5km from Adamsdown 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 — public administration and security with mainly white workforces. With an average age of just 26, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 70% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants. The area has a notably diverse population — 100% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Cardiff.
Safety: Crime rates are high (519 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 CF10 2EH are sourced from Output Area W00010573 (shared with 232 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
