The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (555 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (470). That says something about the character: this is not a bustling young people's neighbourhood.

The proportion of single-person households (390) is remarkably high for a neighbourhood with relatively large homes, which is partly explained by the older population structure.
