Demographically it is a suburb of families, with couple families with children making up 52.0% of families and, together with couple families without children (36.6%), accounting for almost nine in ten families. The population is 2,154 with a median age of 42 and owner-occupation is dominant (86.7% owner-occupied). Several government-led transport and local street renewal projects are under way.
