An average age of 35 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 31 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. 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.
