Lower earnings are the price of relatively affordable housing in Teignbridge. While median house prices are £300,000, below the South West average, they still represent 8.4 times median annual gross pay. Rent is also below the regional median at £944 a month, taking 31.6% of gross median earnings. However, weekly pay is £689.40, significantly less than the South West median. School quality is also a weakness, with 85.2% of pupils in Good or Outstanding schools, well below the regional average. This suits those prioritising lower housing entry costs over career prospects and educational outcomes.
