Accommodation types are predominantly houses, meaning the stock is suited for families seeking ground-level access or gardens. You are unlikely to encounter a concentration of social housing or purpose-built rentals in this cluster. The housing stock reflects the needs of the adult population aged between 30 and 64 years.
