The daytime character shifts — mainly white older workforce, self-employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing, with some construction. With an average age of 52, this is established family country — quiet streets, strong community ties, and low rental churn. 93% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 6 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: With prices averaging £147k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, up 177.6% year-on-year. 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.
