Most households here own (around 60% are owners or paying down a mortgage), and only 37% rent. The suburb is overwhelmingly separate houses (81%), with very little high-density stock. Population is around 19,023, median age 40, and the most common occupation category is Professionals. 10% of residents were born overseas.
