| Unit of measurement |
Ratio - house price to earnings |
| Definitions |
Ratio of median house price to median gross annual residence-based earnings (A higher ratio indicates that on average, it is less affordable for a resident to purchase a house in their local authority district) |
| Calculations |
From source: “By dividing the house price for a given area by its earnings, we produce a ratio which serves as an indicator of relative affordability. A higher ratio indicates that on average, it is less affordable for a resident to purchase a house in their local authority district. Conversely, a lower ratio indicates higher affordability in a local authority. While there are many more factors that influence affordability, the simple ratio provides an overview of geographic differences across England” |
