High earnings meet very high housing costs. Uttlesford offers median weekly pay of £958.20, above the East of England median and higher than 95% of authorities nationwide, but house prices are steep at 9.3 times annual pay. Rent takes a significant 30.9% of gross median earnings, also above the regional median. Recorded crime is lower than the East of England median, and deprivation is low. This is a place for those prioritising income and a relatively safe environment over affordability.
