According to the 2001 Federal Census, all but a handful of the homes were constructed after 1985. Seventeen out of twenty of the homes are single-family dwellings, with most of the remainder being duplexes according to the 2005 municipal census. Almost all the occupied private dwellings are owner-occupied. The average number of people per household is three.
