CB22 in Cambridge represents a pre-cursor gentrification area with a trajectory score of 52.7/100, placing it in the 66th percentile nationally. Over the past five years, property prices have appreciated at 1.4% compound annual growth rate, while rental yields have grown substantially at 5.9% CAGR, indicating stronger income returns relative to capital appreciation.
