The 39 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 27% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 44 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families.
