Over the past decade, prices have grown at 4.2% annually—a rate notably above the national average, reflecting sustained demand.

    The population skews significantly older than national norms: over a quarter (25.9%) are aged 65 and above, compared with 19.6% nationally, while young adults aged 16–24 are notably underrepresented at 7.8% against 11.0% nationally. Housing tenure reflects strong homeownership: 44.6% own outright—well above the 33.7% national average—whilst private renting is below average at 17.3%. The employment profile is professional-heavy, with managers and tradespeople also well-represented, though elementary workers and plant operators are notably less common than nationally.
