Living in Middle Ridge: people, income and schools

About 7,595 people live in Middle Ridge, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 7% over five years. At a median age of 43, it reads as skewed a little older, and 79% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
