Average age 60 — this is a predominantly retired and pre-retirement community, with very low mobility and high owner-occupation. 26% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 24% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.
Safety: Crime rates are high (195 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures.
