South Wales Police

97.9

1,283 records and 15,919 residents. Residents-only rates overstate crime where many people visit who do not live there, such as city centres, stations, and retail parks. Residents are counted at March 2021 while records are current, so areas with many newer homes can read higher.

No England and Wales comparison is shown, because not every force involved has published every month of this window.

Rates cover England and Wales only. Residents: Office for National Statistics, Census 2021 postcode estimates, Open Government Licence v3.0. How rates are built.

Where records cluster in CF36

Published street-crime records in CF36, September 2025 to August 2026, grouped into hexagons

Records by part of CF36: the south 537, the south-east 444, the east 107, the north-west 45, the south-west 38, the centre 31, the west 23, the north-east 4.

North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 300 m across, the size the crime map uses zoomed in, and holds at least one of CF36's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and CF36's records placed outside these hexagons are not drawn, so the map's counts won't add up to the page's total. Police place each record at an approximate public point, so this shows which parts of CF36 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore CF36 on the crime map.

Is CF36 safe?

We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for CF36 from September 2025 to August 2026.

The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in CF36 a record came from, or how a place feels at different times of day. The rate per 1,000 residents is above. See the limits to keep in mind.

Deprivation where residents live

Covers 100.0% of the 15,919 Census 2021 residents of CF36.

Wales: Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2025

Of these residents in Wales, 0.0% live in the most deprived 20% of Wales's neighbourhoods and 57.0% in the least deprived 20%.

Share of residents in each decile, from 1 (most deprived) to 10 (least deprived) of Wales's small areas. Shares are rounded, so they may not total 100%.

Deciles rank neighbourhoods within one nation, so English and Welsh deciles don't compare. They describe areas, not the people living in them, and crime is one of the things the index measures, so this mix partly overlaps the crime figures above. How this is built.
