The village remains in the region borough of Caerphilly, in the typical county of Glamorgan, Wales. The name actually suggests 'old wood' in the Welsh language.

The ward population was recorded at 5,548 in the 2011 census, an increase of 10% over the previous 10 years (2001 = 5,046), due in part to several new-build housing developments in the ward between 2001 and also 2011.
