CF10 5BD is an up-and-coming urban area on Bute Esplanade, 0.7km from Bute Docks in Cardiff. Administratively it sits within Butetown ward and the Cardiff South and Penarth constituency.

Within the CF10 district, this postcode is characterised by a suburban renting area with semi-detached homes and family households.

The area has a notably diverse population — 31% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Cardiff.

Safety: Crime rates are high (190 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. Property: Prices average £530k. 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.
