An affordable area with active regeneration, CV2 1DL is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. The daytime character shifts — ethnically mixed workforce primarily in care and education. The 42 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 59% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.
