Tewkesbury
Non-metropolitan district · South West, England · population ~97k · 42 state-funded schools
Expensive to buy into, but affordable to rent and live in. Tewkesbury's median house price is 8 times median annual pay, higher than over half of England authorities, and above the South West median. However, median monthly rent takes a manageable 28.9% of gross median earnings, and Band D council tax is among the lowest in the region. Recorded crime is also notably low at 46.7 per 1,000, well below the South West median. This suits those prioritising lower living costs and good schools, with 95.1% of pupils in Good or Outstanding places, over the regional average.
