Most households here own (around 75% are owners or paying down a mortgage), and only 23% rent. The suburb is overwhelmingly separate houses (96%), with very little high-density stock. Population is around 3,321, median age 38, and the most common occupation category is Professionals. 23% of residents were born overseas.
