Gwynneville

1 km²

Young adults dominate the demographic landscape of Gwynneville, where the typical resident is just 29. This makes the community far younger than the national average. It is a highly mobile and diverse area, with half of recent arrivals coming from overseas and over a third of residents speaking a language other than English at home. This international character and the presence of many students are reflected in the high proportion of renters and the prevalence of university qualifications.

Modest local incomes, but the area's schools serve a more advantaged intake.
