FURNACE ROAD, SA31 1EU House Prices & Local Information

SA31 1EU is an up-and-coming urban area on Furnace Road, 0.3km from Caerfyrddin in Carmarthen. Administratively it sits within Carmarthen Town North and South ward and the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a classic working-class terrace area — densely packed streets, low ethnic diversity. The daytime character shifts — mainly white, agricultural workforce, on the edges of smaller towns. The 41 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 42% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime rates are above average at 121 incidents per 1,000 residents — worth reviewing the crime breakdown below. Property: With prices averaging £169k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, up 3.6% 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.
