Most households here own (around 71% are owners or paying down a mortgage), and only 27% rent. The suburb is overwhelmingly separate houses (82%), with very little high-density stock. Population is around 10,604, median age 40, and the most common occupation category is Technicians and Trades Workers. 29% of residents were born overseas.
