The daytime character shifts — ethnically mixed self-employed with no fixed place of work in construction, transport, and storage. The 35 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 43% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. The area has a notably diverse population — 100% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Newham.
