People proud of their homes
The level of pride shown towards home regions among mortgage holders and tenants in the UK has been gauged by Halifax Home Insurance.
People living in the north-east of England were top of the finance firm's most-proud areas list.
Those in Wales and Northern Ireland were also high up in Halifax Home Insurance's standings.
It was not made clear which group - mortgage holders or tenants - were most proud of their surroundings, but the reasons for having an affiliation with a region were similar to those expressed by people when buying a property.
Close proximity to loved ones and amenities, as well as feeling safe, were seen as factors that contributed to people showing regional pride.
Martyn Foulds, senior claims manager at Halifax Home Insurance, said: "Not only is safety in an area a top reason for feeling regional pride, it is also [a high] priority for most people when deciding where to live."
Earlier this week, financial search engine Tescocompare.com warned homeowners that insurance is vital for making people feel more secure in their properties.
