The Living Sector and City Growth Report
Close Brothers Property Finance, JLL and The Housing Forum compared housing and economic data across 20 UK university cities. The report found that cities with more developed build-to-rent and co-living sectors had faster jobs growth, creating a timely data-led hook for debate about whether rental housing helps cities keep young talent—while noting the figures show association, not causation.
Why it worked: It tied fresh, city-by-city rankings to hard employment and demographic deltas, offering an immediate, locality-specific causality debate for reporters.
The lesson: Consider publishing ranked league tables that link your metric to a core economic outcome, plus city breakouts reporters can localise fast.
