Hart District is one of the richest and least deprived areas in the whole of the United Kingdom. In the Indices of Deprivation 2004, Hart was ranked at 354 out of 354 local authorities in England, where 1 was the most deprived area and 354 the least deprived, meaning Hart is the least deprived area in England. Hart District’s population also has one of the highest rates of life expectancy in the UK.

For four years running (2011-2014), an annual study conducted by the Halifax bank named Hart as the UK’s most desirable place to live for quality of life. The study took into account jobs, housing, health, crime, weather, traffic and broadband access.


Rushmoor covers the towns of Aldershot and Farnborough.aldershot july'12
