    Average household income of £38,118 is slightly below the national median. The price-to-income ratio of 9.3x has deteriorated since 2016 (when it stood at 8.0x), meaning property has become less affordable relative to local earnings.

    The population is notably older than average, with over a fifth aged 65 and above (compared to 19.6% nationally) and only 8.1% aged 16–24 (well below the 11.0% national average).
