This figure indicates that two-thirds of the population is older than the midpoint of the age range. The demographic data does not specify the most common age range beyond the total population figure, but the median confirms a mature residential base. Nearly 60 per cent of residents own their homes outright, creating a high proportion of owner-occupied properties within the ward. The remaining 40 per cent live in accommodation arrangements where ownership is different. Household composition data is recorded as a total, suggesting a standard breakdown of family and single-occupancy homes exists. Religion and ethnic group information are recorded as totals in the available statistics, meaning you should not expect highly specific diversity data in these categories from this source. The ward hosts a population where home ownership outweighs renting, mirroring the habits of many historic English wards. Residents here are likely to be established long-term rather than transient commuters. The lack of detailed breakdown in household composition means you will find a typical mix of family units and singles.
