Huntley is lived in by homeowners in late middle age who bought a house and kept it. Eight in ten own their home. The typical resident is past fifty. Fewer than one in five is aged between 25 and 44. The village has plenty of people who have arrived and very few who are still on their way somewhere else.
Every population figure here comes from the 2021 Census, which counted 1,272 people in 543 households in Huntley. About 83% of those households own their home, about 12% rent privately and about 5% rent from a social landlord. Anyone who wants to try Huntley before committing will find very few houses to try it in.
The median resident is 52, and only about 17% of people are aged 25 to 44. The housing explains a lot of this: post-war bungalows and detached houses, built for people who have their careers behind them and want to stay in one place.
The Office for National Statistics models median household income in Huntley and the surrounding area at about £55,600 before tax for the financial year to March 2023. After tax, the same model gives about £41,100. The lower figure is the one a mortgage lender cares about.
About 26% of households are one person living alone, and about 15% of all households are a pensioner living alone, which is included in that 26%. Couples with children make up about 20% of households and lone parents about 6%. Family households are a minority here, and so are children.
About 30% of residents aged 16 and over hold a degree, about 20% have no qualifications at all, and about 2% are full-time students. Both groups live on the same few roads.
Huntley is an ordinary, middle-of-the-road place in who lives there: mostly older homeowners who arrived some time ago and have no plans to leave.
