Bradford’s average private rent stood at £746 in May 2026, according to the ONS Price Index of Private Rents. That was up from £742 in April.
The monthly rise was 0.5%, so rents continued to edge higher rather than jump sharply. The annual picture shows a clearer increase.
Bradford’s latest ONS and Nomis labour-market profile points to a large local population and a labour market that sits below the Great Britain average on most measures. The city had a resident population of 563,605 in 2024, which gives the earnings figures some useful scale when thinking about local affordability pressures.
