Full-time employment stands at 20% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are high (159 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. 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.
