Do You Know How Many People Live in the Average Attleborough Home?
When helping people move, it’s not just about bricks and mortar, it’s about understanding how households live today.
According to the latest Census data, East Anglia has 20.3% of households with four or more people living under one roof. 
Knowledge of this highlights the importance of homes that offer space, flexibility, and functionality.
Larger households often look for homes with generous living areas, multiple bathrooms, good parking, and proximity to schools. Whether it's growing families, multigenerational living, or people simply needing more room to breathe, the local demand for space is real and growing.
