FOUNDRY BRIDGE, NP13 1BX House Prices & Local Information

NP13 1BX is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Foundry Bridge, 0.2km from Abertillery in Abertillery. Administratively it sits within Abertillery and Six Bells ward and the Blaenau Gwent constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a classic working-class terrace area — densely packed streets, low ethnic diversity. The daytime character shifts — white, female workforce with low qualifications, working locally. The 43 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 43% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 22 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.
