Hart
Non-metropolitan district · South East, England · population ~98k · 34 state-funded schools
High pay comes with high housing costs. Hart offers median weekly earnings of £928, well above the South East average, and a deprivation score of 5.54, the lowest in the region. However, median house prices stand at 9.6 times median annual pay, and monthly rent consumes 35% of gross median earnings. Recorded crime is also higher than the South East median at 74 per 1,000. This location suits those prioritising high earning potential and low deprivation, and who can absorb the significant housing expense.
