Unitary authority · East Midlands, England · population ~40k · 20 state-funded schools
High cost of living, high quality of life. Rutland's median house price is 8.3 times median annual pay, and rent takes a significant 28.8% of gross earnings, both among the highest figures in the East Midlands. However, this comes with exceptional benefits: recorded crime is below the regional median at 41.7 per 1,000, deprivation is also well below the regional median, and 100% of pupils attend Good or Outstanding schools, the highest rate in the region. This suits those prioritising safety and education over affordability, and who can afford the premium.
