Unitary authority · Yorkshire and The Humber, England · population ~159k · 63 state-funded schools
Affordable to live in, yet challenging to earn in. North East Lincolnshire offers some of the lowest housing costs in the region, with a median house price of £165,000 and rent taking just 20.9% of gross median earnings. However, this affordability is countered by weekly earnings of £677.90, which sit below the regional median. The trade-off extends to public services and safety, as the area faces a deprivation score of 31.34 and a crime rate of 118.1 per 1,000, both among the highest in the region. While the financial barrier to entry is low, the high council tax of £2,484 acts as a recurring cost. This location suits those prioritising immediate housing affordability over local wage growth or low crime rates.
