An affordable area with active regeneration, CV2 1AJ is a mixed area of service workers, students and families in semi-detached housing. Work and footfall patterns mark this as a metro suburban distribution industries zone — ethnically mixed workforce in transportation and storage. This is a stable, socially diverse area (average age 40) — accessible for a wide range of households, from young families to empty nesters. 56% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.
