44 in 100 homes owned outright

1,558 households in Athelstone 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.

80 in 100 households are families

Couples, parents, kids and grandparents: in Athelstone, 80 in every 100 households are families. School runs and hand-me-downs for some, grandkids visiting for others, and the most useful neighbour is often the one who's been through it a year ahead of you.
