Disposable income in 11 towns and cities has risen twice as fast as rest of UK

A report from Centre for Cities, a thinktank, showed that between 2013 and 2023, disposable income for residents of these top performing towns and cities rose by an average of 5.2%, compared with an increase of 2.4% for urban areas in the UK overall. The report said that if all 63 of the UK's largest towns and cities had experienced the same rate of growth as the top 11 performers over this period, people would have pocketed an extra 3,200 on average in disposable income.
