Ceredigion
Local Authority · Wales · population ~73k
Affordable rents, but not much else to show for it. Ceredigion's median monthly rent takes up 24% of gross median earnings, a reasonable share, and its recorded crime rate is among the lowest in Wales. However, median weekly pay is low at £682, below the Wales median, and house prices are high, costing 6.4 times annual pay. Council tax is also above the Wales median. This place suits those prioritising a low crime rate and manageable rent over career prospects or property affordability.
