Cheap to buy into, hard to earn in. Kingston upon Hull offers the lowest house prices in the Yorkshire and The Humber region, a median home costing 4.2 times annual pay. However, median weekly earnings are also the lowest in the region, at £645.10, and rent consumes a significant 24.5% of gross pay. Recorded crime is the highest in the region, and deprivation scores are also the worst. This location may suit those prioritising affordability for home ownership above all else, and who are not reliant on local employment.
