Living in Llanrumney North
Cardiff 007 has a settled, family-leaning feel that sets it apart from the student-heavy inner districts closer to the city centre. The population of around 7,100 is spread across a mix of housing, and the neighbourhood's age profile — with 25.6% of residents under 18 — signals that families, not young professionals, are the dominant demographic here. Greenspace is close at hand, with the nearest park or open space just over 300 metres away on average, and around four in ten residents within easy walking distance of a greenspace.
On cost, this part of Cardiff sits at a comfortable level relative to the rest of the UK. A two-bedroom home runs around £1,068 a month — roughly £130 below the UK national median for a 2-bed. Three-bedroom properties come in at about £1,186, making this one of the more accessible options for families who need space. That said, rent-to-take-home ratios are high: residents here spend an estimated 55.9% of take-home pay on rent, which reflects the gap between local salaries and even moderately priced housing.
The demographic picture is relatively stable. Around 89% of residents were born in the UK, and the ethnic diversity index sits at 31.2 — broadly mixed but not as diverse as the city's inner neighbourhoods. Just under a quarter of residents hold a degree-level qualification, which is below the Cardiff-wide average and points to a working and lower-middle-income community rather than a graduate-professional enclave.
Car dependency is the main practical note here. Around 57% of residents drive to work, and the nearest mainline rail station is roughly 4.4 km away — about a 55-minute walk, so in practice you're driving or catching a bus to the station. The nearest major employment hub is around 55 minutes away. Public transport covers 10% of commuters, and just over a fifth work from home.
