Overview

• Chesham and Amersham lead with a score of 74 out of 100 in Legal & General’s Retirement Wellbeing Index, which assesses every parliamentary constituency for later-life quality.
• The index combines ONS figures, census data, housing and price reports and an Opinium survey of 3,000 retirees to evaluate six pillars: housing, health, social and community, financial security, nature and amenities.
• Southern commuter-belt areas in Buckinghamshire and Surrey claim four of the top five overall positions, highlighting the South-East’s strength in retirement wellbeing.
• Mid Dunbartonshire tops Scotland and Monmouthshire leads Wales, while most northern and coastal constituencies are absent from the top 20 list.
• Sheffield Hallam ranks highest for financial wellbeing, Castle Point for access to nature and the Cities of London and Westminster for amenities.
