Owners, mostly, and not young ones. Buying is the default here and renting is the exception. The typical resident is past fifty. Around one household in four is a single person. Close to half of adults hold a degree. This is not a village filling up with first-time buyers, it is a village of people who arrived, bought, and made no further plans.
Census 2021, which is the source for every population figure on this page, puts owner-occupation at about 72% of households. Private renting covers about 11% and social renting about 15%, so what renting exists here splits fairly evenly between the open market and social housing rather than being one or the other.
The median age is 51, and about 17% of residents fall in the 25 to 44 band. That is a thin slice at the age when people are building careers and filling spare bedrooms, against a heavy weighting to everyone older than it. Nobody moves to a village like this to be near the action, and the age profile is the receipt.
On income, the wider statistical area was modelled at about £58,000 of gross household income, before tax, in the financial year to March 2023, with roughly £47,000 as the equivalent net figure once tax comes out. Both describe that year rather than this one, and both are modelled for an area larger than the village itself, so treat them as the shape of local prosperity rather than as anyone's actual payslip.
Household make-up follows the age profile. About 27% of households are one person living alone, and about 18% are a pensioner living alone, that second figure sitting inside the first rather than stacking on top of it. About 20% are a couple with children and about 8% a lone parent. Family life exists here, it just does not dominate the street.
On qualifications, about 45% of adults hold something at degree level and about 12% hold no formal qualification at all, with full-time students at about 1%. That combination describes a place people move to once education is behind them, rather than one built around anybody currently doing any.
Only 18 residents live in communal establishments rather than private households, so the household figures above account for very nearly everyone in the village.
The population is one of the steadier assets here: settled owners, comfortable rather than wealthy incomes, and a large number of people who have already finished doing their moving about and would prefer the village did too.
