Expensive to live in, average to earn in. Wychavon's median house price is 8.8 times median annual pay, and its median rent takes 29.7% of gross earnings, both higher than most authorities in the West Midlands. Pay is close to the regional median at £718.40 weekly, and council tax is also near the average. However, Wychavon stands out for education, with 94.9% of pupils in Good or Outstanding schools, the best in the region. This suits those prioritising school quality over housing affordability.
