The 38 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 45% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 24 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.
