There is a very large Chinese contingency in this area (over 60%) with 35% speaking Chinese as a first language at home. A huge percentage of people own their homes, which are primarily single detached homes. As the homes were built when the farming left (80s) there are many two storied houses with garage, typical of the time of building and affordability.
