• Be Happy at Home in Huddersfield

Each year property website Rightmove conducts a Happy at Home survey to provide a unique insight into how we feel about the place we live in.

Nearly 50,000 people took part, ranking 12 distinct factors about their location, with 111 towns and cities in Britain included on the list.

And if you live in Huddersfield you should be particularly happy as our hometown is ranked 16th!

Here’s the full breakdown of how we fared across all criteria:

• Decor 9 / 111
• Space 88 / 111
• Contentment 88 / 111
• Value 11 / 111
• Investment 26 / 111
• Well-being 13 / 111
• Pride 35 / 111
• Costs 8 / 111 
• Safety 51 / 111
• Amenities 21 / 111
• Recreation 18 / 111
• Neighbourliness 11 / 111

Unfortunately Holmfirth wasn’t included in the survey as we’re sure it would have come even higher up the rankings!
