Havant
Non-metropolitan district · South East, England · population ~126k · 46 state-funded schools
Cheaper housing comes at the cost of lower earnings and higher crime. Havant's median house price is 8.4 times median annual pay, and rent takes 35.4% of gross median earnings, both significantly below the South East median. However, weekly earnings are also lower than the regional average at £735.20. Recorded crime is high at 76.7 per 1,000, and the deprivation score is among the worst in the South East. This location suits those prioritising lower housing costs over higher incomes and lower crime rates.
