Worthing's homes, by the numbers
Worthing in the 2021 census: 49,538 households, 65% houses, 35% flats.
Broadwater, Goring, Durrington, Heene, Offington and Marine all sit inside BN11, BN13 and BN14. Flats total 35.3% of the stock in this part of West Sussex, 23.9% in purpose-built blocks and 9.0% converted out of former houses, while social renting is low at 9.8% against 67.5% owned. Conversions are the awkward category, because the floor between two dwellings was never designed as a separating structure: it is timber, it flexes, and it passes footfall straight downwards. A floating system over a resilient layer, with skirtings kept clear of the finish, is the honest answer there. Purpose-built blocks are usually concrete and more forgiving, though the lease still governs what may be laid.
Worthing blends Regency and Victorian seafront terraces with extensive interwar and postwar suburban semis in Broadwater, Goring and Durrington. This regenerating Sussex resort now attracts a growing market of young families priced out of Brighton alongside downsizers, drawn by coastal living, period charm and more affordable, spacious homes near the sea.
