Gosport

Affordably priced relative to the rest of the South East, Gosport presents a clear trade-off between lower housing costs and restricted local earning power. A median house costs 6.8 times median annual pay, which is the lowest price in the region, yet weekly earnings of £710.50 sit well below the regional median. Rent consumes 37.4% of gross median earnings, a significant portion of income despite the monthly rent of £1,150 being cheaper than the regional benchmark. While the cost of entry is lower than in most neighbouring areas, the deprivation score of 20.54 is notably higher than the regional median. This location suits those who need to keep housing costs down and are willing to accept lower pay, provided they can manage the higher-than-average local deprivation levels.
