Residents income

Residents pay has fallen by £1.50 a week to £517.20; Shropshire is now similar to the West Midlands average of £517.40. The Shropshire average has previously been higher so the gap between the Shropshire and the West Midlands has now closed.

Residents pay is higher in Shropshire than workplace pay which indicates a net outward commute to gain higher rates of pay.

The Shropshire average remains lower than the Great Britain average (£552.70). Due to sampling sizes, this measure is likely to see a greater annual variance when compared to regional and national results
