Demographics

The community profile in Cwmavon Community is defined by an older population. The median age of residents is 70 years, which is significantly higher than typical UK averages. This suggests the area attracts retirees or elderly couples seeking a quiet environment. While the most common age range data is recorded as 'Age: Total', the specific median figure of 70 years confirms the dominance of this older demographic. Home ownership stands at 68 per cent, indicating that the vast majority of residents own their homes free of mortgage or with long-term mortgages settled. This high level of ownership aligns with the older age profile and implies a community where people have stayed put for many years. Household composition and accommodation type data are available as total figures, confirming that the resident base is fully accounted for in census records.
