Scotland could’ve been a Norway (or closer to it) if it was independent. Imagine the revenue of those oil and gas reserves spent on 5million people instead of 70million.
London has sucked you dry. Shame.
Edit: as always, voted down by the right wing British nationalists in England. They know the truth and want to hide it.

Interesting that there’s no data from Northern Ireland here. I reckon it’d be similar to Scotland potentially.

UK outside of Greater London and Surrey, brutal. Didn’t even bother with Northern Ireland and you ain’t missing much. A sick man nation for near 20 years now.

Why has income fallen so far behind the US and Canada?
Standard of living is just as good as Canada and seems better than the US. How is the cost of living that much cheaper when our societies are so closely tied?
Isn’t housing in the UK or at least England just as expensive as Canada and the US?

And the prices for most stuff is basically the same , so everyone in the north is fucked and the south are fine , and everyone in Scotland has their head in the water not just above

Brilliant example of something not usefully mapped on the basis geography, should be a cartogram. And the selection of household data as opposed to per capita is highly distorting here.
And there is no official data for 2024 at these resolutions, curious where these figures are from?

Definitely something weird going on with the data here, that cliff edge along the Scottish border is highly suspicious. There’s no way that Edinburgh is poorer than the northern English cities. I don’t believe that Dumfries & Galloway is the lowest income area in Scotland, much less Great Britain.

This is wrong and quite dramatically so. The average household income in Glasgow, for instance, is provably not sub £20k lol.

This massively false data (especially around Scotland/England border) and the number of ridiculously exaggerated bot comments… propaganda, no doubt.

I live in London, and my partner and I are technically in the top bracket, but it really doesn’t feel like we’re wealthy. We pay around £22k a year just in rent—which is pretty typical for everyone I know in a 1bed flat. We buy all our food from budget supermarkets, don’t go on foreign holidays, and we’re still barely able to put anything into savings

Not correct – Scotland in generally richer than northern England but poorer than southern England. No way is the north east of England in particular way richer than the central belt of Scotland and Aberdeenshire.
Wessex and poverty basically. Being that it’s gross household income it’s pretty stark (pre-tax). Also average versus median…so high earners skew these numbers up.
I’m in the U.S. and our poorest states are still around $45k-50k median household income. Average household income would be considerably higher virtually everywhere.

The SNP have created a perfect storm of political uncertainty and sky-high income taxes, no wonder the place has such low incomes.

As a Taiwanese living in the UK, UK is surprisingly run down. Sometimes I ask myself whether this country is really the developed country walking down the streets 😕 Stuck in 2000s vibe is real . . .
