29% of households are one person

724 households in Newnham 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.

29 in 100 homes owned outright

747 households in Newnham 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.

67 in 100 households are families

Couples, parents, kids and grandparents: in Newnham, 67 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.
