Exeter’s latest ONS/Nomis labour market profile shows a strong local employment picture, set against a relatively large resident base of 138,399 people in 2024. That population context matters, because it gives a sense of the scale of the local workforce and the number of households drawing on city wages when thinking about day-to-day affordability.
