VELINDRE STREET, SA13 1BX House Prices & Local Information

SA13 1BX is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Velindre Street, 0.1km from Velindre in Port Talbot. Administratively it sits within Port Talbot ward and the Aberavon constituency.

This is a strong family neighbourhood — a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. The daytime character shifts — mainly white, agricultural workforce, on the edges of smaller towns. The 42 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 70% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 24 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: With prices averaging £114k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, down 7.3% year-on-year. 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.
