Conwy
Local Authority · Wales · population ~118k
Higher housing and tax costs are traded for slightly better pay and lower crime. Conwy's median house price is 5.8 times median annual pay, and rent takes 24.7% of gross earnings, both above the Welsh median. Council tax is also higher at £2,473. However, weekly pay is a little better than average at £726.40, and recorded crime is lower than most of Wales at 83.6 per 1,000. This suits those who can absorb higher living costs for a slightly stronger wage and lower crime rate.
