With a population of 2123, it forms part of the Worthing West parliamentary constituency and is governed by Worthing Borough Council. The area reflects the character of an established urban ward, blending proximity to the coast with the practicality of a mid-sized town.

The ward’s median age of 47 suggests a community of adults, predominantly in their 30s to 60s, many of whom are homeowners.

The property market in BN13 3SG reflects a mid-range position within Worthing’s wards, with an average new-build sale price of £277,032 between 2017–2020. This suggests a mix of established housing stock and newer developments, though the exact age of properties is not specified. The area’s home ownership rate of 53% indicates that nearly half of residents live in owner-occupied homes, while the remaining 47% likely rent. Given the predominance of houses over flats, the housing stock is likely to consist of family homes or larger properties, which may appeal to buyers seeking space or long-term stability. However, the small size of the postcode area means the market is limited in scope, and buyers should consider the broader Worthing region for more options. The average price per square metre of £3,767 further contextualises the value of properties here, placing them in line with other urban wards in the area.
