Key Facts, Figures and Statistics
The East End and Hendon contains around 10400 residents, 4000 households. The area borders the City Centre, runs along the river from The Port on the coast into Grangetown. It is a mixed area of new housing alongside areas of severe deprivation. The area has seen a lot of changes in recent years, still suffers from high crime and high unemployment plus a lack of facilities but also has a reputation for working together as a community; the recent £54m Back on the Map project is very welcome example of the community working together to tackle problems.
