House Prices vs Wages
This chart compares average UK house prices with average weekly earnings using official data.
This chart compares average UK house prices with average weekly earnings using official data.
This chart shows how average house prices and average weekly earnings have moved over time. Both series are rebased to a common starting point (=100) so you can compare their relative growth on the same scale.
This chart shows movements over time, but it does not prove a single cause for changes in house prices or earnings, and it is not a mortgage-affordability or deposit calculation. Rebasing changes the visual scale, not the underlying data.
This chart is rebased: each series is set to 100 at a common starting point so their relative growth can be compared on one axis. Rebasing changes the display scale only — the underlying source values are unchanged.
