LL53 5AY is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.5km from South Beach in Pwllheli. Administratively it sits within De Pwllheli ward and the Dwyfor Meirionnydd constituency.
An affordable area with active regeneration, LL53 5AY is a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. By day, the area transitions to a mining and quarrying facilities character: industrial activities connected with mining and quarrying. 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. 53% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.
Safety: Crime rates are low here at 20 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 LL53 5AY are sourced from Output Area W00000562 (shared with 4 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
