Yeading is mostly young families and working-age adults in full households, and owners and renters are fairly evenly split. About 46,000 people live there. Just over half own their home. The typical resident is in their mid-thirties. Couples with children outnumber people living alone. Yeading is still busy bringing up children, and very few residents have retired.
All population figures here come from the 2021 census. About 53% of Yeading's households own their home, about 27% rent privately and about 18% rent from the council or a housing association. Private landlords own roughly one front door in four, so plenty of streets have a mix of owners who've been there for years and tenants with a twelve-month contract.
The median age is 36, and about 30% of residents are aged 25 to 44. That is the age group with mortgages and young children. Most of the people living here are part-way through raising a family, with older children and retirement still some years off.
The Office for National Statistics models typical household income in Yeading at about £68,000 a year before tax, for the financial year to March 2023. That figure is an estimate for the area, not a measured one. Households here often have two earners, and the commute mostly goes out by car or bus.
Yeading's households are built around children. About 26% are couples with children and about 15% are lone parents with children. Only about 20% are one person living alone, and about 8% of all households are a single pensioner, which is part of that 20%. Yeading's post-war estates were built for families, and families still make up most of the households.
Qualifications are mixed. About 30% of adults have a degree, and about 23% have no formal qualifications. Only about 3% of residents are full-time students, so the district has almost no student population. There's no university nearby and very few shared student houses.
At the census, about 85% of residents described their health as good or very good, which fits a young population. Across Hillingdon as a whole, the rate of deaths from preventable causes is better than the England average. The borough's smoking rate, about 11%, is similar to England's. Those are borough-level public health figures, and they are not measured for Yeading itself.
On the usual measures of comfort, Yeading is below average. It is young and hard-working, with full houses and incomes that go on families. It is not well off, and the quieter retired households you find in better-off parts of the borough are rare here.
