CF5 1AX House Prices & Local Information

CF5 1AX is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.4km from Victoria Park in Cardiff. Note: this is a large-user or commercial postcode — residential population data may be limited. Administratively it sits within Canton ward and the Cardiff West constituency.

Day-to-day life in CF5 1AX has the character of a high-density urban area of young, single, transient residents. The daytime character shifts — industrial activities connected with mining and quarrying. With an average age of just 28, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. Employment levels are high (68% in full-time work) — a well-connected, economically active community.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 34 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.
