The population of the community in the 2011 census was noted as 894. For postal purposes it comes under the town of Aberdare, although it is some from Aberdare town centre, and from Glyn Neath. It was noted as a township in the parrish of Ystradyfodwg in several historical references and people moved to this rural area to work in local industries. Today, the village is a quiet place to live with stunning views of the Brecon Beacons and is within walking distance of The famous Waterfall country.
