Low housing costs come at the price of low earnings and high crime. North East Lincolnshire offers the lowest median monthly rent in the region at £614, and a median house price of £165,000, a multiple of just 4.7 times annual pay. However, weekly earnings are the lowest in the Yorkshire and The Humber region, at £677.90, and recorded crime is high, at 118.1 per 1,000. Council tax is also among the highest in the region, and deprivation is high. This suits those prioritising affordability in housing over career prospects and safety.
