Demographics

The community in Widdrington Station and Stobswood displays a clear demographic trend towards older residents. The median age stands at 70 years, meaning half the population is older than this figure. This age profile dominates the local landscape and influences how people utilise the parish facilities. Home ownership rates reflect this established population structure with 70% of households owning their property outright.

The remaining 30% of housing stock consists of rental accommodations, which supports a specific mix of household needs within the parish.

You will encounter an older demographic rather than families with young children or transient workers. This settlement pattern creates a quiet social environment where neighbours know each other well.
