Broxtowe
Non-metropolitan district · East Midlands, England · population ~115k · 42 state-funded schools
Higher council tax and rents come with only middling pay and house prices. Broxtowe's median house price is 6.6 times median annual pay, slightly above the regional average, and monthly rents consume 30.7% of gross median earnings, the highest share in the East Midlands. While council tax is also among the highest regionally, recorded crime is higher than two-thirds of authorities. On the upside, deprivation is below the regional median, and school quality matches the East Midlands average. This is a place that suits those prioritising school standards and lower deprivation over affordability.
