Affordable rent, but a high council tax bill. Huntingdonshire offers a median monthly rent that takes 31.2% of gross weekly pay, below the regional median, and a house price that is 8 times median annual pay, also below the East of England average. However, this comes with the highest Band D council tax in the region at £2,556. Crime is below the regional median at 57.2 per 1,000, and deprivation scores are also lower than the East of England average. This suits those prioritising lower housing costs over local tax burdens, but it does not capture the labour market's nuances.
