The honest read

Working in its favour

No standout strengths flagged by our current measures.

Depends on you
  • A small village — around 1,191 residents — quiet by nature.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 1.16% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 3 places to eat within 5km.
  • Some earthquake history here, the strongest around M4.8 over the last 20 years — worth asking about a building's construction and any anti-seismic work.
