Frome: Homes Owned with a Mortgage – A Localised Snapshot
This visual map of Frome highlights the varying proportions of homes in different parts of the town that are owned with a mortgage or loan. The darker the shade, the higher the percentage of homeowners in that area still repaying a mortgage. Conversely, the greener areas indicate a lower proportion of homes without a mortgage.
It’s important to note that just because an area is green, it doesn’t necessarily mean most residents own their homes outright. These areas may have a higher number of social rented properties (typically owned by housing associations or the local authority), or a significant presence of private rental accommodation. Some of these homes may indeed be owned outright, particularly by older residents who’ve paid off their mortgage.
