The analysis compared every named street according to Ordnance Survey and thousands of homes across the UK on Rightmove, reviewing them for name and price. Each street was then categorised based on its name, fitting into groups such as colours, animals, and people’s names.
The data allows us to see which street names are the most popular and the most valuable. Take a look at the findings below:
