Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity.
