The 38 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 44% 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 is moderate at 56 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area.

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.
