The 36 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 87% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment. Employment levels are high (52% in full-time work) — a well-connected, economically active community.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 35 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Average house prices are around £223k, down 37.2% year-on-year. 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.
