Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income is £31,000, significantly below the national average. The price-to-income ratio of 4.7x indicates that property remains affordable relative to earnings, though this has edged up slightly from 4.5x in 2016. Rental affordability has improved: the rent-to-income ratio has fallen from 21.4% to 20.3%, meaning renters spend a smaller share of their income on housing.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population skews notably older, with nearly three in ten residents aged 65 and over—well above the national average of one in five—and only 7.9% aged 16–24, markedly below the national norm. Outright ownership is unusually high at 42.7%, reflecting the older age profile. The employment mix is distinctive, with trades making up 16.8% of workers—considerably above the 10.5% national average—while professional occupations are underrepresented at 11.8% compared to 20.5% nationally.
