How this ranking is made
Years of median full-time pay per average home: average house price ÷ median full-time annual pay, both as published.. The ratio of the UK House Price Index average price to ONS median full-time annual pay, by local authority.
Source: HM Land Registry: UK House Price Index: average prices · average house price: UK House Price Index: June 2026; median full-time annual pay: 2025 provisional. Boundaries: 2025-05 BGC v2 LAD_MAY_2025_UK_BGC_V2. Percentiles are calculated across the whole UK, so they do not change when the table is filtered to one nation. A ranking compares areas of very different sizes and populations; the figure is the publisher’s own, and its rank is Civometry’s ordering of those published figures.
