CF31 1DB is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.2km from Tremains in Bridgend. Note: this is a large-user or commercial postcode — residential population data may be limited. Administratively it sits within Bridgend Central ward and the Bridgend constituency.

Within the CF31 district, this postcode is characterised by an area with a high proportion of elderly residents, often in communal housing. By day, the area transitions to a non-metropolitan suburban areas character: white, female workforce with low qualifications, working locally. An average age of 40 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets.

Safety: Crime rates are high (237 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 CF31 1DB are sourced from Output Area W00005417 (shared with 18 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
