Rushmoor
Non-metropolitan district · South East, England · population ~94k · 37 state-funded schools
Expensive to live in, but not the worst in the South East. Rushmoor’s median house price is 9.5 times median annual pay, a multiple higher than 65% of English authorities, and rent takes a significant 43.4% of gross median earnings. While council tax is below the regional median at £2,320, recorded crime is higher than average at 74 per 1,000. This is a place that suits those prioritising proximity to London over affordability, with schools performing just shy of the South East average at 92.9% Good or Outstanding.
