The daytime character shifts — ethnically mixed self-employed with no fixed place of work in construction, transport, and storage. An average age of 34 points to a young professional and early-career population — ambitious, mobile, and predominantly renting. 59% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.
