Everyone has felt the pinch during the cost of living crisis but some parts of Peterborough may be finding it easier than others.
The Peterborough Telegraph has compiled a list of the neighbourhoods in this city with the highest estimated average annual household income – based on the latest figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The neighbourhoods with the highest average household income, according to the official statistics, include Barnack, Wittering and Wansford.
The ONS breaks Peterborough down into 22 neighbourhoods called ‘Middle-layer Super Output Areas’ (MSOA).
The average income statistics are the latest available by neighbourhood, published by the Office for National Statistics in March 2020, and are for the financial year ending 2018.
Total annual household income is the sum of the before tax income of every member of the household, plus any income from benefits.
The estimates were calculated by the ONS using various sources of information, including the 2011 Census and the annual Family Resources Survey.
So, here are Peterborough’s 10 richest neighbourhoods, based on average household income statistics:
