The mix of student cities and older valleys housing stock makes Wales a region where launderette access matters more than you might expect. Cardiff and Swansea both have large university populations in areas with Victorian terrace housing most of which lacks washing machines. Newport, Rhondda, and Merthyr Tydfil serve longer-established renter communities with similar housing characteristics.
