The average household size is 1.6, and 61% of homes are occupied by one person, so the area has a quiet, adult feel. There are few families with children here, and a notable share of residents are over 65. The housing stock is mixed, with 41% owner-occupied and the rest rented. This is the Bakenes neighbourhood in a nutshell: compact, historic and calm.
