Census 2021 puts Hammersmith at 3,807 households with a median age of 33.2. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 15% houses and 85% flats need different handling in W6.
Owner-occupation runs at 23% in Hammersmith, so alongside the 38% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.

A4 red route, gyratory congestion and mansion blocks with small original lifts.
