This is a strong family neighbourhood — residents in this subgroup are typically single or divorced eu-born migrants who live alone. many are aged 25 to 44 and are employed in sales and customer service occupations or are process, plant and machine operatives. a higher than group average proportion identify with the white ethnic group or other asian ethnicities, and many do not speak english very well or well. housing is principally in flats in the social or private rented sector, with households typically overcrowded, and home ownership rare. The daytime character shifts — low density wholesale and retail in mostly white areas, often on urban fringe or close to transport nodes. The 43 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 57% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are above average at 136 incidents per 1,000 residents — worth reviewing the crime breakdown below.
