How sustainable is my home area.

Looking at the national statistics of my area looks like it is a wonderful place to live with 2,289 residents and 822 dwellings I know how lucky I am, but the data is old. some of the information has jet to be up dated as jet. This clearly highlights that having a good in all areas is not sustainable at all. Most of the homes are now rented and not owned so their is a quick turn around of neighbours no waves hello in the morning or keeping an eye on your home when you are away this has gone.In the last few months their has been a couple of robberys and thief's police support workers knocking on the doors this is something that has not happened in other years. Things have been taken from cars. police cars and vans some times both outside my house at silly o'clock regularly theses are not shown in the statics. Therefore normal to every where I am sure. The people for the data they used must also have changed. It suggested that only four people were on benefit now the council rents some of the houses this could of possibly increased. In the information they gained most people are aged between thirty and forty, four and manly professionals. The life expectancy for this area is good for males and oddly not so good for the females this is interesting. probably all the worrying us females do. In general health is good in this area it has a lot of green space with a park and running track an gym and indoor playing area for children and big ones too! this is in easy walking distance to town where more shops restaurants and public houses are plentifully . back on the estate their is a fish and chip shop, wok in and Ty restaurant as well as our own public house. There is places in walking distance to recycle old unwanted cloths shoes etc and most weeks bags come for collection. There is also a recycle system in place all positive. In the main this area is a rather positive sustainable environment and a place where many want to be it is just the keeping it going that may be hard.
