Property Price & Volume Trends
The average property price of £141,000 places CF41 among the cheapest nationally. However, the district stands out for exceptional price growth: at 6.6% per year over the past decade, it ranks among the fastest-growing areas in the UK. Transaction activity has slowed recently, with 100 sales in the latest year compared to a 10-year average of 134 annually.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent of £950 sits just below the national median. Rental growth has been robust at 4.8% per year over ten years, outpacing most of the country. The flat yield currently stands at 5.2%, notably above its 10-year average of 4.5%, reflecting strengthening returns for landlords.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £30,479 is well below the national average, placing the area among the lowest-earning districts. The price-to-income ratio of 4.5x has deteriorated since 2016 (when it stood at 3.5x), making property less affordable relative to local earnings despite the cheap absolute price level. Rental affordability has improved slightly: the rent-to-income ratio has eased from 26.4% to 26%, a modest gain.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population skews older than average, with 20.4% aged 50–64 and 19.9% aged 65+, compared to national figures of 19.8% and 19.6% respectively. Outright home ownership is notably higher at 39.6% versus the national 33.7%. The employment profile is heavily weighted towards caring roles (15.5% versus 9.2% nationally) and trades (13.8% versus 10.5%), while professional occupations are significantly underrepresented at 12.6% against 20.5% nationally.
