Felpham is owner-occupier country. Roughly four in five households own their home. The median age is 49. Typical household income runs at about £56,000. The school-age years are mostly behind this village.
On tenure, the ownership rate is the dominant fact. Owner-occupation accounts for roughly four-fifths of households, a high figure by any benchmark. Private renters make up about one in seven households, social renters about one in eighteen, and the remainder sits in the smaller categories. The renting cohort is the minority, and the village's housing market reflects that. Sellers are mostly long-tenure owners moving on. Buyers are mostly people pricing a settled village rather than chasing a rental yield.
On age, the median resident is 49, which sits well above the national median and reflects the demographic the village has built itself around. The working-age twenty-five to forty-four band is about one in five residents, which is a smaller share than you would find in a town with an active labour market and a younger commuting cohort. The profile is consistent with an owner-occupier coastal village carrying a strong retiree contingent and a quieter young-adult share.
On income, typical household income in Felpham comes in at around £56,000. That is a comfortable middle-income figure for the south coast, sitting above the national median without reaching commuter-belt territory. It is consistent with a population mix that is largely owner-occupiers with established earnings, plus a substantial retired contingent on pensions and accumulated equity rather than current wages.
On household composition, single-person households make up just under three in ten of all households. About one in five of all households is a single pensioner. Couples with dependent children come in at about one in five households, and lone-parent households at about one in twelve. The dominant household pattern is small: single-person and couple-only homes together account for the majority of the village's housing demand, which shapes everything from the favoured house size to the kind of car-ownership patterns the area shows.
Who lives in Felpham scores four out of five on the page's index. Owner-occupier coast, older median age, comfortable income, and a household mix tilted toward single-person and couple homes. The village is not where families with young children set the housing demand and not where renters set the rental one. That picture is unlikely to flip in the next census.
