The people living in Lewsey Ward show a distinct demographic profile. The community skews significantly older, with a median age of 70 years. While the data categorises the most common age range simply as "Total," the high median age indicates a resident population that is not heavily weighted towards young families or children. This is one of the few areas in the wider region with such an advanced age profile. Housing stability is a notable feature here. You will find that half of the households, or 50%, are owner-occupied. This suggests a community where many residents have established long-term roots rather than being transient tenants. The ward's household composition and accommodation types reflect this settled nature, though specific breakdowns of property floors or tenancy spells are not detailed beyond the overall ownership figure. Ethnic and religious demographics are recorded as total figures in the available records, meaning no specific percentages are published for these categories. However, the population density stands at 1,189 people per km². This density confirms a relatively compact neighbourhood where most residents live close together within the small 1.5 km² area.
