SA13 1DS House Prices & Local Information

SA13 1DS is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 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. Work and footfall patterns mark this as a town fringe countryside zone — mainly white, agricultural workforce, on the edges of smaller towns. This is a stable, socially diverse area (average age 41) — accessible for a wide range of households, from young families to empty nesters. 69% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 44 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.
