In 2011, it had a population of 920. The community consists of a number of districts: Talerddig, Dolfach, Tafolwern, Pandy, Cringoed as well as Pennant. The original centre goes to Llan, on the road to Llanidloes, where the local parish church of St Mary lies. The present centre (previously called "Wynnstay") at the joint of the A470 and B4518 rose to local importance with the structure of the new turnpike road in 1821 and the arrival of the railway line in between Newtown as well as Machynlleth in 1861. Geographically, the neighborhood includes the valleys of three rivers-- Afon Twymyn, Afon Iaen and Afon Rhiw Saeson-- and also the surrounding uplands. The 3 rivers sign up with around the primary town as well as circulation westwards as the Afon Twymyn in the direction of the Afon Dyfi and also Cardigan Bay. The Cambrian railway line, integrated in the 1860s, runs through Llanbrynmair as well as for a while offered an electrical outlet for the mines at Dylife, 8 miles southern. The village station closed in 1965 as part of the "Beeching closures". There was a degree crossing next to the terminal yet, following the accidental death of an American visitor in October 1999 and its summary as a "blackspot", the crossing was shut and the road drawn away. The area is mostly Welsh-speaking and reliant upon livestock farming. It was fortunate to run away the foot and also mouth disease break out in Britain in 2001.
