East Renfrewshire
Local Authority · Scotland · population ~96k
High pay comes with a high price tag. East Renfrewshire’s mean house price is £308,650, the highest in Scotland, and a multiple of 6.6 times median annual pay. Advertised rents are also steep, consuming 28.1% of gross median earnings. However, this comes with the highest median weekly earnings in Scotland, at £896.20, significantly above the Scottish median. This is a place for those prioritising high earning potential and property values over affordability, where the cost of living is clearly a major factor.
