Demographics

The community within this civil parish presents a clear demographic profile centred on older residents. The median age stands at 70 years, which firmly establishes Frilsham as a mature settlement. This age concentration indicates that families with young children are not the primary demographic here. Full-skyscraper apartment complexes or multicultural hotspots do not define the social fabric of this parish. Instead, the population consists largely of settled individuals who have chosen this location for its tranquility and established rhythm. Home ownership drives the broader picture of social stability, with a striking 74% of households owning their property outright. This high percentage suggests low transient rates and long-term residents who contribute to the stability of the local market. The dominance of this group shapes the local economy and social interactions in ways that differ from younger, rental-heavy neighbourhoods. Living in Frilsham means joining a community where generations have built deep roots and familiarity. You will encounter neighbours who have lived here for decades, fostering a sense of continuity that is rare in modern housing estates.
