Hart

Strong earnings potential comes at the cost of high property prices in Hart. A median house costs 9.6 times median annual pay, a significant barrier for entry that reflects the area's desirability. While weekly earnings of £928 sit well above the South East median, residents still face a housing market where rent consumes 35% of gross pay. The financial trade-off is balanced by a deprivation score that is the lowest in the region, indicating a high level of relative prosperity. With crime rates sitting near the regional median and schools performing in line with the South East average, the area provides a stable environment for those whose high salaries can absorb the steep cost of local housing.
