The price-to-income ratio of 8.9x has deteriorated since 2016 (when it stood at 7.1x), reflecting price growth outpacing income gains and making purchase less affordable.

Housing is dominated by outright ownership at 55.1%, well above the national 33.7%, reflecting a settled, mature population. The workforce shows a pronounced tilt towards trades (16.4% against 10.5% nationally) and caring professions (10.6% against 9.2%), with fewer professionals than average.
