Average monthly rent compared with estimated monthly earnings.
Labour market rates are from the ONS Annual Population Survey profile shown by Nomis. Where the local APS unemployment value is suppressed, the ONS model-based unemployment estimate is used. Earnings are ONS ASHE resident-analysis median full-time employee earnings. Annual pay is annualised from weekly pay for display context.
Incomes Explain Affordability Pressure
Wage and employment data does not predict house prices by itself. It gives demand-side context: how average prices and rents compare with resident earnings, whether employment conditions support demand, and where affordability pressure may limit the buyer or renter pool.
North Lincolnshire’s latest ONS and Nomis labour-market picture shows a resident population of 171,336 in 2024. That gives useful context for the local earnings and employment figures, especially when thinking about affordability pressures and the scale of the local labour force.
On ASHE 2025, the resident median weekly pay is £715.70.
