The local economy has traditional ties to farming, though many residents now commute to larger towns for work.

A notable local feature is the detailed 17th-century painted wooden ceiling within the church, depicting biblical scenes and moral lessons. The ward contains several community facilities, sports fields, and a primary school, serving its resident population. The surrounding countryside is defined by straight, engineered waterways that manage the low-lying land.
