The purchase price-to-income ratio of 8.0x has deteriorated since 2016 (when it stood at 7.0x), indicating that homes have become less affordable relative to earnings over this period.

Social rented housing is markedly prevalent at 30.9% of tenure, nearly double the national average of 16.5%, while outright ownership is correspondingly lower at 23.2%.
