CF10 2SF is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.5km from Adamsdown in Cardiff. Note: this is a large-user or commercial postcode — residential population data may be limited. Administratively it sits within Cathays ward and the Cardiff Central constituency.
Day-to-day life in CF10 2SF has the character of 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. 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 (714 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.
