CF24 3UX is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Richmond Road, 0.2km from Caerdydd in Cardiff. Note: this is a large-user or commercial postcode — residential population data may be limited. Administratively it sits within Plasnewydd ward and the Cardiff Central constituency.

Day-to-day life in CF24 3UX has the character of a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — areas dominated by food and entertainment. 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.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 48 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. 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.
