Good pay, high housing costs. East Hampshire offers median weekly earnings of £901.40, well above the South East average, and a median house price of £422,000, which is 9 times annual pay. While rents are below the regional median at £1,252 a month, they still take up 32.1% of gross median earnings, a significant chunk. Recorded crime is low at 43.6 per 1,000, and deprivation scores are also below the regional median. This location suits those prioritising higher incomes and lower crime, but who can absorb substantial housing expenditure.
