House Price Affordability in York, North Yorkshire and East Riding by MSOA Ratio of Annual Household income to median house price

In Richmondshire the presence of the MOD facility causes a large spike in the male 18-30 population which also brings down the median age of the district. Migrational change show the most severe outflow of younger people in the LEP area. The 18-19 spike of net migration outflow is characteristic of an area without higher education institutions. The net migration outward of people aged 0-15 is not occurring anywhere else in the LEP

East Riding has the most affordable housing in the LEP and like Richmondshire migration patterns reflect this with net inward migration though not for people aged 15-29 The spike in outward migration in East Riding is not in the 15-19 age group like other districts but in the 20-24 age group. One possible theory is that at 15-19 as many people enter East Riding to study as leave to study but when studies are finished a higher rate of people studying in east riding return home than those who live in east riding and study away

The population structure and migration patterns of York are heavily influenced by the presence of 2 Universities. The 15-19 Category has large levels of inward migration and once studies are complete these people contribute to levels of outward migration. The pattern is similar for all counties with a university city within them.

Selby has the highest wages in the LEP and some of the most affordable housing and this is reflected in rates of internal migration which are positive for 0-44 age groups (except for 15-19 due to lack of higher education provision)

Scarborough posses affordable housing in its southern and urban areas but rural areas, particularly in the national park are some of the least affordable in the LEP. Migration is inward but interestingly outward migration amongst young people is not confined to the 15-19 age groups as it is in most other districts but extend to people in their 20’s.

Ryedale's population pyramid reflects an older population and affordability of housing is an issue in Ryedale, though interestingly the patterns of migration between 2013-2014 show net inward migration of all 0-64 age groups (except the usual 15-19 group which is usually outward in a non-university district).

Like Ryedale, Hambleton has an older population and unaffordable housing. Migration is inward in Hambleton between 2013 and 2014. More people aged 20-34 are leaving Hambleton that entering and those over 35 and under 15 are adding to the population by moving from elsewhere in the UK into Hambleton.

Migration is inward in Harrogate across all ages groups except the usual 15-19 age group. What is interesting is that between 2013 and 2014 significantly more people living in Harrogate left the country than arrived in Harrogate from other countries. Mainly amongst people in their 20’s and 30’s
