Recent census data indicates a stable, family-oriented demographic, with a large proportion of residents being long-term occupants, particularly families and professionals seeking a tranquil but accessible suburb. Duncraig’s schools, such as Duncraig Senior High School and several primary schools, contribute to its strong appeal for families.
