Property Price & Volume Trends
The average property price in WF10 is £199,000, placing it well below the national average and among the more affordable areas nationally. Over the past decade, prices have grown at 4.4% per year—a notably strong performance, ranking in the upper half nationally. However, transaction volume has slowed: the latest year saw 586 sales compared with an average of 855 over the previous ten years, reflecting softer recent market activity.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent stands at £788, below the national average and among the lower-rent areas in the country. Rent growth over the past decade has been moderate at 3.7% annually, broadly in line with the national trend. The current flat yield of 6.8% is above its ten-year average of 6.1%, signalling improving returns for buy-to-let investors in recent times.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average net household income is £34,381, below the national average and among the lower-earning areas. The price-to-income ratio has worsened since 2016, rising from 5.1x to 5.6x, indicating that property has become less affordable relative to local earnings. The rent-to-income ratio has remained virtually flat, moving slightly from 23.6% to 23.9%, suggesting stable but modest rental affordability pressures.
Resident Demographic Profile
The area shows several notable demographic contrasts. Elementary occupations are significantly more prevalent, at 15.5% compared to the national average of 10.2%, while professional roles are underrepresented at 12.5% against 20.5% nationally. The tenure profile is distinctive: mortgage ownership is above average at 32.8%, but private renting is notably low at 16.7%, offset by social renting at 20.4%—well above the 16.5% national average. The age structure is broadly balanced, though the 16–24 age group is slightly underrepresented at 9.2% compared to 11.0% nationally.
