Most households here own (around 64% are owners or paying down a mortgage), and only 32% rent. The suburb is overwhelmingly separate houses (87%), with very little high-density stock. Population is around 9,745, median age 36, and the most common occupation category is Machinery Operators and Drivers. 6% of residents were born overseas.
