The oldest and youngest neighbourhoods of Brighton and Hove have been revealed by newly released Census data.

Data from last year’s Census for England and Wales uncovered the median age of communities in Brighton and Hove.

The median age is the age of the person in the middle of a group, so that one half of the group is younger than that person and the other half older.

The figures provide a snapshot of the age of people from across the city and around England and Wales on the day of the Census, March 21, 2021.

Brighton and Hove had a median age of just 38, the second lowest in Sussex - beaten only by Crawley whose median age was 37.

Rother, which includes Bexhill, Battle and Rye, had the highest median age in the county at 53.

The oldest part of Brighton and Hove, according to the data, is Rottingdean and Saltdean, with a median age of 52.

By contrast, the youngest part of the city is Coldean and Moulsecoomb North, an area that covers most of the University of Sussex and parts of the University of Brighton. The community had an median age of just 20, likely reflecting the large numbers of students that live in the area.
