Southampton in numbers
84% of Southampton’s CQC-rated care homes are rated Good or Outstanding, above the England average of 79%, with 2 rated Outstanding. Based on 25 rated homes; England figure from CQC State of Care (2024/25).
The average residential care home in Southampton costs about £1,480/week, while Hampshire’s published usual rate is around £1,245/week (2025). If the council funds care, expect a likely top-up of about £235/week (about £12,220/year), usually paid by a relative or friend. An estimate: councils fund care only below the means-test threshold, and fees vary by home, room and needs.

How we grade areas
Grades are relative, comparing this area against others of the same type across the UK. Amenity grades are based on OpenStreetMap counts within a fixed radius. The Safety & Peace grade ranks recorded anti-social behaviour and public-disorder incidents (the offences most relevant to a quiet neighbourhood) — per head of population where ONS figures are available, otherwise by count. Scottish towns are graded against other Scottish towns, from Police Scotland’s 12-month figures for the council wards they sit in, per head of those wards’ population (National Records of Scotland). Figures are estimates to aid research, not a substitute for visiting an area.
