CACI’s ranking highlights the most desirable locations across the UK for residential property investment. The ranking brings together a number of variables to understand the life quality within each town or district, all consistent with last year’s calculations. 

Our affordability index is calculated by using a ratio between average house price and average income. Our variables include:

• Levels of employment.
• Internet connectivity and Wi-Fi speed data.
• A count of Primary and Secondary schools.
• Local crime levels.
• Connectivity to public transport.
• Propensity to move and a count of provision of retailers, pubs, restaurants and other local amenities.

Two new variables have joined the ranking this year, living within a Greenbelt and health and well-being, to reflect consumer behaviour in a post lockdown world. Download the rankings now – some of the results might surprise you!
