Living in Guildford: people, income and schools
Guildford has a resident population of roughly 2,040, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 37% over five years. The median age is 46, skewed a little older, and 77% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
