CENTURION CLOSE, CF5 5JW House Prices & Local Information

CF5 5JW is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Centurion Close, 0.9km from Sweldon in Cardiff. Administratively it sits within Caerau ward and the Cardiff West constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, CF5 5JW is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. By day, the area transitions to a non-metropolitan suburban areas character: white, female workforce with low qualifications, working locally. An average age of 36 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 72% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 14% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 73 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: With prices averaging £140k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area. 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.
