How Badbury Drive, Blandford Forum prices moved
The chart tracks the median Badbury Drive, Blandford Forum house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2006. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £66,000 | £146,551 |
| 2000s | 3 | £150,375 | £273,939 |
The highest yearly median on record for Badbury Drive, Blandford Forum is £180,000 in 2006; the lowest is £66,000 in 1999. Across the full 8-year record the cash median has moved from £66,000 to £180,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £134,480, so the real change over the whole record is +138.3% — about +13.21% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +172.7% in cash against +138.3% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Dorset at £1,046 a month as of Jun 2026 — £724 for a one-bedroom home and £1,178 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £153,250 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.19% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of DT11, 20 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 5 violent, 0 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 5 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 8.4 times quieter.
Against the 379,579 residents the 2021 census counted in Dorset, that is 0.05 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Dorset at 9.9 times median local earnings of £35,311 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.
