The daytime character shifts — mainly white older workforce, self-employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing, with some construction. The 42 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 72% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 78 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: Average house prices are around £192k. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
