Census 2021 puts Plumstead at 9,964 households with a median age of 35.6. The mainly Victorian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 67% houses and 33% flats need different handling in SE18.
Owner-occupation runs at 41% in Plumstead, so alongside the 32% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
