Local Authority · London, England · population ~340k · 86 state-funded schools
Expensive to live in, average to earn in. Ealing's median house price is 12.9 times median annual pay, a multiple higher than 93% of England authorities, and rent consumes a steep 58.6% of gross median earnings. Pay itself is below the London median at £808.10 weekly, and ranks below the median for London authorities. While crime is slightly below the London average at 81.1 per 1,000, and school quality is high at 98.1% Good or Outstanding, the high cost of housing and rent makes this a challenging prospect for those not already financially secure.
