This is a strong family neighbourhood — a quiet rural community with low density and high home ownership. The daytime character shifts — mainly white older workforce, self-employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing, with some construction. The 44 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 63% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.
Safety: Crime rates are low here at 19 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.
