Census 2021 puts Ickenham at 2,922 households with a median age of 43. The inter-war stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 88% houses and 12% flats need different handling in UB10.
14% of households rent privately and 82% own, which is why green waste removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
