Pembrokeshire
Local Authority · Wales · population ~127k
Higher pay and lower rents are traded for pricier homes. Pembrokeshire's median weekly earnings are £736.30, above the Welsh median, and its median monthly rent of £687 is notably cheaper than the Welsh average. However, the median house price is £224,000, a multiple of 5.9 times annual pay, which is on the higher side for Wales. Council tax is also below the Welsh median at £2,166. This offers a good balance for those prioritising a slightly higher income and lower rental costs over the most affordable property market.
