Living in Muirlea: people, income and schools
Muirlea has a resident population of roughly 174, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 44% over five years. At a median age of 55, it reads as an older, established demographic, and 88% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
