Non-metropolitan district · East Midlands, England · population ~115k · 47 state-funded schools
Affordable housing meets middling pay and higher than average crime. Erewash offers a median house price 5.7 times median annual pay, and rents are also below the East Midlands median at 26.5% of gross pay. However, weekly earnings are below the regional average at £724, and recorded crime is higher than the regional average at 72 per 1,000. The genuine strength here is education, with 93.2% of pupils in Good or Outstanding schools, better than most of the East Midlands. This suits families prioritising school quality and housing affordability over career progression or a low crime rate.
