1,008 homes still on a mortgage

Owners still paying it off are often the newer faces in Kingston: the households asking who does good gutters, where the kids play weekend sport, and whether anyone has a ladder long enough for the second storey.

44% of households are one person

1,462 households in Kingston are a single person. A neighbour who'll take in a parcel, feed the cat or check in after a storm matters more than any app feature. Doorstep is just how you find them.

17 in 100 homes owned outright

575 households in Kingston have paid the place off. Owning outright usually means years on the same street: the neighbours who know which trees drop branches in a storm, when the council clean-up comes round, and who to ask before you knock down a wall.
