Non-metropolitan district · North West, England · population ~81k · 27 state-funded schools
Good earnings, but not cheap to buy into. Fylde offers median weekly earnings of £839, well above the North West median and higher than 74% of English authorities. However, this is offset by a median house price of £245,000, which is 5.6 times median annual pay, and a median monthly rent taking 23.3% of gross median earnings. Recorded crime is low, at 54.2 per 1,000, and deprivation is also well below the North West median. This suits those prioritising higher earnings and lower crime over affordability.
