Havant
Non-metropolitan district · South East, England · population ~126k · 44 state-funded schools
Relatively affordable housing comes at the cost of lower earnings and higher deprivation in Havant. A median house costs 8.4 times annual pay, and rent consumes 35.4% of gross median earnings, both of which are more accessible than the wider South East median. However, weekly pay of £735.20 sits below the regional median, and the deprivation score is among the higher end of the regional rankings. While council tax is lower than the regional median at £2,320, the local crime rate of 76.7 per 1,000 residents is notably higher than the regional benchmark. This location suits those who need to balance housing costs against a tighter budget, provided they are willing to navigate a more challenging socioeconomic environment.
