Bromsgrove
Non-metropolitan district · West Midlands, England · population ~101k · 37 state-funded schools
High prices, but good schools and low deprivation. Bromsgrove's median house price is a steep 7.8 times annual pay, and rents take up 26.7% of gross median earnings, both among the highest in the West Midlands. However, this comes with significant upsides: deprivation is the lowest in the region, and 94.9% of pupils attend Good or Outstanding schools, better than 68% of England authorities. Recorded crime is also below the West Midlands median. This suits families prioritising education and a less deprived environment over affordability.
