Low earnings and high crime are the price of affordable housing in Mansfield. While the median house price is significantly below the East Midlands average at £188,000, and rent takes a manageable 28% of gross median pay, weekly earnings are among the lowest in the region at £635.60. This makes the median house price a substantial 5.7 times annual pay. Recorded crime is also well above the regional median, and deprivation scores are among the worst in the East Midlands. This suits those prioritising lower upfront property costs over career prospects or a lower crime rate.
