Demographics

The community in The Havens Community displays a clear demographic skew towards older residents. The median age stands at 70 years, indicating that the area is dominated by retirees or older adults who have remained settled for a significant period. You will encounter very few young families or single professionals compared to the broader national average. This age profile shapes the local demand for housing, healthcare, and leisure facilities in ways that differ from younger-dominated districts. Home ownership in The Havens Community reaches 79 per cent. This figure highlights a district where property is primarily owned by its inhabitants rather than rented out. The high ownership rate suggests financial security among residents and a lack of seasonal or student tenancy markets. Accommodation types and household composition follow naturally from this ownership structure, as long-term owners often occupy single-family homes or adapted properties suitable for aging in place. The population is relatively homogeneous regarding age, with the most common age grouping falling within the retirement bracket. This stability means the local economy and social services are tailored to the needs of an older population.
