The linked later-life localities layer consists of 53 coastal localities with an aging populaton. This is characterized on the basis of their census based socio-economic and demographic characteristics. This is the second stage of a based on a two-stage cluster analysis of coastal localities (defined as within 2 kilometres of the coast) with populations of greater than 1000 (for reasons of confidentiality).

There is a predominately older age profile in these settlements  over 45’s showing highest here with many couples with no children. There are high levels of owned housing and unpaid carers.
