Demographics & Identity in Manildra

Who lives here — how many people, how old they are, and how communities identify.

A population that has grown by 4.3% since 2011 defines Manildra (L), where the typical resident is now 44. While the community is noticeably older than the national figure, a rise in the number of children and a drop in the proportion of seniors suggests the local age balance is shifting.
