The most and least affordable towns to buy a home in the West Midlands: See how towns across the region rank
Bilston has been identified in a study as the West Midland's most affordable town for working families to buy a home in 2025.
The same study found Sutton Coldfield to be the least affordable town for families to buy a home, while Brierley Hill also ranked well as one of the country's most affordable towns.
The affordability calculations are based on house price-to-earnings ratios made by property website Zoopla compared with average house values and based affordability calculations on a two-earner household on full-time local earnings.
Bilston received a 3.17 score from the study, with the median home value of £201,300 and estimated annual household income of £63,500. It was the third best across the Midlands and Staffordshire, behind Newcastle-under-Lyme (2.88) and Stoke-on-Trent (2.97).
