North Tyneside
Metropolitan district · North East, England · population ~209k · 75 state-funded schools
High housing costs are offset by low crime and good pay, but schools lag behind. North Tyneside’s median house price is the highest in the North East at £210,000, and rent takes 26.3% of gross median pay, also the highest in the region. However, recorded crime is low at 82.2 per 1,000, and weekly earnings are strong at £727.20, better than 34% of England authorities. Deprivation is also below the regional median. This suits those prioritising safety and a higher salary over cheaper housing, though school performance is a notable weakness, with only 89% of pupils in Good or Outstanding places.
