Everyone likes their own space.
But there are some parts of the Welsh capital that are far more crowded than others.
The map below shows the 10 most crowded areas of Cardiff in which to live. If you click on a shaded area it will tell you where it ranks in the top 10 and how many people live there and there's a full list below.
Unsurprisingly, seven of the 10 most crowded areas are in the student heartlands of Cathays.
The three other areas are in the Bay, Grangetown and Roath.
Of the 1,909 neighbourhoods in the capital, residents of the most crowded area have less than 45 square metres each of space.
This area of Cathays is bounded by Crwys Road to the north, Wyeverne Road to the south, the railway to the east, and Woodville Road to the west.
It has a population of 2,366 and is 110,000 square metres in size. To put it another way, each person has an average of 44.5 square metres of space. That is the equivalent of a 9x5 metre room.
To put that into context, across the UK as whole the average person has a whopping 3,676 square metres of space. But in the most crowded neighbourhood in the country, in Tower Hamlets in London, each person has just 10 square metres of space.

The second most crowded neighbourhood in Cardiff is bounded by the Cardiff University Students’ Union to the south-west, Rhymney Street to the north-east and Glynrhondda Street the south.
Here, every person has an average of 46.1 square metres each.
Watch residents on the little Cardiff road being swallowed up by the city, traffic and student flats talk about what it's like to live there:
The area between the River Taff and Dumballs Road is the third most crowded place in Cardiff.
It’s bounded by Heol Glan Rheidol to the north and, roughly speaking, the A4232 link road to the south. Every person there has 49.1 square metres each.
If that sounds like a reasonable amount to you, it’s probably because you are used to living in a city.
Across the UK as whole, the average person's 3,676 square metres of space is the equivalent of a room 100 metres long and 36 metres wide.
