The 42 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 45% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 54 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area.
