Great Yarmouth
Non-metropolitan district · East of England, England · population ~99k · 39 state-funded schools
Affordable to inhabit, difficult to prosper in. Great Yarmouth offers the lowest median house price in the East of England at £220,000, yet this property market reflects a local economy where median weekly earnings of £699.20 sit well below the regional median. Housing costs remain accessible, with a median house price that is 6.1 times median annual gross pay and monthly rent consuming 26.9% of earnings. These figures come with significant trade-offs, as the area records the highest deprivation score in the region and crime rates higher than 82% of England authorities. This location is best suited for those prioritising low entry costs over local economic growth or lower crime levels.
