Each outline gives every piece of land to the nearest home, so the edges are approximate: Royal Mail's postcodes follow addresses, not lines on a map. Places are named by Ordnance Survey; each postcode counts under its nearest named place. Average prices are for homes sold in the five years to the latest sale we hold.

House prices in SA1

What homes in SA1 sold for in the five years to 28 August 2026 (the latest sale HM Land Registry has recorded), against the five years before. The average is the middle price, so a few very high or low sales don't move it.

We count ordinary home sales. We leave out bulk sales, sales between companies and repossessions, because their prices don't reflect a normal sale.

This is one figure for the whole of Great Britain, not a figure for SA1. What you pay depends on the size of the home, how it is heated and how you use it.

Schools in SA1

17 state schools have an SA1 postcode, and 20 more are within a mile of one of its postcodes. Being near a school is not the same as being in its catchment: check admissions with the council.

Estyn, the inspectorate for schools in Wales, stopped giving schools an overall grade from spring 2022, so there is no single rating to show. Each school's inspection reports are on estyn.gov.wales.

Crime in SA1

Swansea recorded 748 crimes per 10,000 people in the year ending March 2026, below the England and Wales average of 837. That is a council-wide figure.

Inside the approximate outline of SA1, police.uk recorded 9,894 crimes on its streets from September 2025 to August 2026. The most common were violence and sexual offences (3,542), shoplifting (1,343) and anti-social behaviour (1,166). Police.uk places each crime at a point near where it happened, not at the exact address.

Flood risk in SA1

We checked the centre of each of SA1's 1,299 postcodes against the flood risk maps from Natural Resources Wales. 1,244 sit outside every mapped area, and 55 are in one: 4 at high risk, 5 at medium risk and 46 at low risk. The centre of a postcode is not each home in it, so check an exact address on NRW's flood risk map.

  • High risk from rivers or the sea or surface water and small watercourses: Greater than a 1 in 30 (3.3%) chance of flooding each year.
  • Medium risk from the sea: Between a 1 in 200 (0.5%) and a 1 in 30 (3.3%) chance of flooding each year.
  • Medium risk from surface water and small watercourses: Between a 1 in 100 (1%) and a 1 in 30 (3.3%) chance of flooding each year.
  • Low risk from rivers or surface water and small watercourses: Between a 1 in 1,000 (0.1%) and a 1 in 100 (1%) chance of flooding each year.
  • Low risk from the sea: Between a 1 in 1,000 (0.1%) and a 1 in 200 (0.5%) chance of flooding each year.

The sentence above counts each postcode once, at its highest risk. The table counts it under each source, so a postcode at risk from more than one source appears more than once.

NRW's map takes into account the effect of flood defences where it has information on them. Defences reduce the chance of flooding but do not completely stop it, as they can be overtopped or fail.
