High earnings meet eye-watering property prices. In Three Rivers, median weekly pay is £892.40, well above the East of England average, but house prices stand at 11.7 times annual gross pay, among the highest multiples in the region. Rent is also a major commitment, taking 46.7% of gross median earnings, with a median monthly rent of £1,807 being among the highest in the East of England. While recorded crime is below the regional median at 52.1 per 1,000, and deprivation is low, the cost of housing is the defining factor. This location suits those with high incomes who prioritise excellent schools, with 96.3% of pupils in Good or Outstanding settings, the best in the region.
