Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Every single home in Nile is a separate house, making it one of the few areas with no flats or townhouses. This detached housing comes with very low costs, as typical monthly mortgage payments are far below the national figure. However, the area has a much higher proportion of renters than most similar places.
