The most common age range covers the total population, reflecting this broad shift towards later life. Home ownership stands at 82 per cent, which is exceptionally high for any region in the UK. This figure confirms that the vast majority of residents own their homes outright or with significant equity. Very few people rely on the rental market to secure housing in this parish. The dominance of owner-occupied properties creates a sense of stability and long-term settlement within Crucorney Community. Accommodation types and household composition reflect this demographic reality. The data shows that total household composition aligns with the needs of an ageing society.

The predominant ethnic group and specific religious breakdowns remain generalised in the total figures provided. This demographic structure suggests a quiet environment where neighbours know each other well across generations. Life here moves at a pace suited to retirees and those seeking peace rather than urban excitement.
