How affordable is it to live in North Yorkshire: Check out the rental hotspots
BBC News England
A BBC investigation has found people spend more than a third of their disposable income on rent across large parts of England.
Analysis shows the average rent of a one-bedroom property in almost half of all districts, boroughs and cities would cost more than 30% of the median take-home salary for the area.
BBCCopyright: BBC
In Selby for example, the median annual gross salary is £27,378, leaving £1,815 a month after tax and National Insurance contributions. Experts recommend spending no more than 30% of this on housing, which would be £545.
An average studio flat in the area costs £316 a month and a one-bedroom property costs about £387 a month, while a two-bedroom home is about £523.
Radical plans to make York’s remaining castle more accessible and appealing went out to consultation in January.
