ONS · median monthly private rent July 2026, median full-time annual pay 2025 · Local authority
Where do renters pay the largest share of local pay?
The published median private rent in each local authority, multiplied by twelve and divided by median annual pay of full-time employees living there: the share of a middle full-time salary that a median rent would take. Both figures are published; the division is a Civometry calculation, and every area shows its arithmetic.

- Methodology
What this does not measure
The asking rent for a property advertised today, which is usually higher than the average across all tenancies, nor social rents, nor what any particular tenant pays.
The Price Index of Private Rents estimates the average rent across all private tenancies in an area, new lets and continuing tenancies, modelled from Valuation Office Agency data in England and the equivalent bodies in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It is not an asking-rent series and usually sits below advertised rents for new lets. Recent months are revised as data arrives. The site holds England and Wales local authorities plus UK, country and region totals; Scottish councils and Northern Ireland districts are in the source but outside the site's geography registry.
