Over five years, capital appreciation has remained modest at 2.1% CAGR, whilst rental growth has substantially outpaced this at 9.6% CAGR, suggesting investor appeal through income rather than capital gains. Population growth of 0.7% indicates minimal residential expansion. The district is classified at a latent gentrification stage, implying limited structural transformation underway.
