Census 2021 puts Seven Kings at 4,948 households with a median age of 34. The mainly Edwardian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 68% houses and 32% flats need different handling in IG3.
Private renting sits at 42% and owner-occupation at 52%; the first group books warehouse clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
