Non-metropolitan district · East Midlands, England · population ~121k · 49 state-funded schools
High earnings meet high costs. Rushcliffe offers median weekly pay well above the East Midlands average at £855.90, but this comes with the highest median house price in the region at £345,000, a multiple of 7.8 times annual pay. Rent is also steep, taking 27.8% of gross median earnings, and council tax is among the highest in the East Midlands. However, the area is the least deprived in the region, with a score of 7.18, and schools are performing at the regional median. This suits those prioritising strong incomes and low deprivation, who can afford the premium on housing and living costs.
