The 44 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 60% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 39 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: With prices averaging £55k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area. 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.
