Fylde

Strong earnings define Fylde, though they are offset by the higher cost of entry into the local housing market. A median house costs 5.6 times median annual gross pay, reflecting a premium over the North West median. Rent is more accessible, consuming 23.3% of median gross earnings, which is a manageable trade-off for residents earning £839 per week. Beyond the financial data, the area offers a safer environment than most of the region, with a crime rate of 54.2 per 1,000 residents. While schools perform in line with the regional median, the low deprivation score suggests a stable socioeconomic environment. This location suits professionals who can leverage the strong local pay to offset the higher house prices while prioritising personal safety.
