Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £36,000 sits below the national middle ground. The price-to-income ratio of 15.8x has deteriorated significantly since 2016 (when it stood at 11.8x), making property less affordable to local buyers. Rental affordability has remained broadly stable, with rent currently consuming 27.6% of household income—virtually unchanged from 27.7% in 2016.

The population is notably older, with 30.2% aged 65 and over against a national average of 19.6%, and just 7.5% aged 16–24 compared to 11.0% nationally. Housing is dominated by outright ownership at 45.5%—well above the national 33.7%—reflecting the older demographic. The employment base is heavily skewed towards trades (20.5%) and managers (19.3%), significantly above national averages, while professional roles at 13.8% are below the national 20.5%.
