Richmond remains a very happy place to live, ranked second on the Rightmove Happy at Home Index 2024, having been overtaken by Woodbridge in Suffolk.
Tim Bannister notes the importance of intangible factors like sense of belonging, community pride, and being oneself contribute significantly to overall happiness in a living area.
The survey found rural areas generally produce happier residents compared to large urban centers, which contributed to Richmond's drop from first to second place.
Richmond's high property prices, with an average house costing £939,329 compared to Woodbridge's £441,569, likely influenced its happiness ranking.
