Five-year price growth averages 1.8% annually, substantially below national trends, while rental growth has outpaced capital appreciation at 5.4% CAGR. Population expansion remains limited at 0.7% over five years, suggesting constrained demand fundamentals. The district scores 40.0/100 on trajectory analysis, placing it in the 5th percentile nationally and indicating average prospects relative to UK benchmarks.
