East Dunbartonshire
Local Authority · Scotland · population ~109k
High earnings come with high housing costs. East Dunbartonshire offers the highest median weekly pay in Scotland at £909, but this comes with a mean house price of £265,606, which is higher than 87% of Scottish authorities. Rent also bites, taking 23.5% of gross median earnings, with advertised rents at £925 per month, higher than 84% of Scottish authorities. While house prices are 5.6 times annual pay, this multiple is below the Scottish median. This area suits those prioritising high income and willing to pay a premium for it, rather than those seeking affordability.
