With 300,000 full-time students, and 110,000 part-time students, the student accommodation market is both the largest and most active in the country. Our analysis of the 2011 Census shows in fine-grain geography exactly where these students are living and whether they are in halls of residence.

With private sector rents forecast to continue growing, affordability for domestic students, who make up 75% of the student body, will continue to be stretched and drive demand into surrounding more affordable markets. Despite this pressure on affordability there are still many markets in central London that contain high proportions of students.
