LD2 3DQ is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Newry Road, 0.5km from Oaklands in Powys. Administratively it sits within Llanafanfawr with Garth ward and the Brecon and Radnorshire constituency.
For families considering a move, LD2 3DQ represents a spacious suburb popular with older working households approaching retirement. By day, the area transitions to a traditional countryside character: mainly white older workforce, self-employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing, with some construction. An average age of 44 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 79% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.
Safety: Crime rates are low here at 19 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.
Census 2021 statistics for LD2 3DQ are sourced from Output Area W00002403 (shared with 29 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
