Most households here own (around 65% are owners or paying down a mortgage), and only 32% rent. The suburb is overwhelmingly separate houses (88%), with very little high-density stock. Population is around 7,434, median age 39, and the most common occupation category is Technicians and Trades Workers. 29% of residents were born overseas.
