The 36 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 61% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.
Safety: Crime rates are high (155 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. 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.
