Low rents and crime rates come at the cost of school performance. North Lincolnshire offers median monthly rent at £631, among the lowest in Yorkshire and The Humber, and recorded crime stands at 76.2 per 1,000 people, well below the regional median. Housing is relatively affordable, with prices at 4.8 times median annual pay, and rent takes a manageable 20.3% of gross median earnings. However, only 87.8% of pupils are in Good or Outstanding schools, below the regional median, and median weekly earnings match the regional average of £715.70. This location suits those prioritising a lower cost of living and safety over educational outcomes for children.
