The 39 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 38% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 23% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 53 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: With prices averaging £109k, 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.
