Demographics

The demographic profile of Caersws Community reveals a mature population with a median age of 70 years. This figure indicates a resident base significantly older than the national average. The most common age grouping falls under the 'Age: Total' category, reflecting the wide variety of ages present, though the median suggests retirement residents dominate the headcount. You are likely to encounter fewer young families compared to younger areas, which shapes the general atmosphere of the parish. Home ownership stands at 74 per cent, which is a notably high level compared to the wider UK average. This statistic confirms that Caersws Community is primarily an owner-occupied area. You will find that leases and tenancies are far less common here than in city centres or university towns. This high percentage of owner residents often correlates with greater community stability and long-term investment in local properties.

Consequently, the demographic picture relies heavily on the age and ownership figures mentioned earlier. The presence of protected woodland within the area also hints at environmental value that may influence who chooses to settle here.
