Rental affordability has improved modestly: the rent-to-income ratio has eased to 63.8% from 68.6% in 2016, though rents still consume a substantial share of household income.

The population skews notably older, with those aged 50–64 and 65+ each accounting for nearly a quarter of residents—well above the national average of around 20% for each band.

Housing tenure is dominated by outright ownership at 45.5%, far above the national average of 33.7%, while private renting is below average at 18.2%. The employment mix is distinctive for its strong concentration in trades (20.8%, nearly double the national 10.5%) and notably weaker representation of professionals (12.5% versus 20.5% nationally).
