Homes in Blackpool cost 4.18 times median annual earnings for people working there (2025).
- Across England: 7.63 times (2025)
- Blackpool a year earlier: 3.94 times (2024)
What this measures: the median price paid for homes in Blackpool over the 12 months to September 2025, divided by the median gross annual pay of full-time employees who work in Blackpool, wherever they live. That is what "workplace-based" means - it is about jobs in the area, not the earnings of people who live there. Earnings come from the ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (April 2025). A higher ratio means homes are less affordable for people working locally. The latest year uses provisional earnings, which ONS revises the following year. This is a council-area figure, not a valuation of any home.
