Non-metropolitan district · South East, England · population ~85k · 30 state-funded schools
Affordable to buy, but with a significant pay penalty. Gosport offers the lowest house prices in the South East at £252,750, a multiple of 6.8 times median annual pay. However, weekly earnings are £710.50, well below the regional median of £821.80. Rent also consumes a substantial 37.4% of gross median earnings, and crime rates are above the South East average. This is a place for those prioritising lower property entry costs over earning potential, and who are willing to accept higher crime and deprivation scores.
