High prices and high pay, but rent still bites. Broxbourne's median house price is a steep 9.2 times annual earnings, and its median monthly rent of £1,649 takes a significant 42.2% of gross median pay, both among the highest in the East of England. However, weekly earnings are also strong at £900.90, above the regional median, and council tax is below average. The standout figure is school quality, with 96.3% of pupils in Good or Outstanding places, the best in the region. This is a place for those who can afford the entry price and value education above all else.
