Census 2021 puts Bromley-by-Bow at 9,307 households with a median age of 29.8. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 8% houses and 92% flats need different handling in E3.
30% of households rent privately and 23% own, which is why garage clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
