The average household in the highest earning area brings in £60,000 each year before tax
Many people are struggling with their finances right now amid the cost-of-living crisis, but in some parts of Bristol they may be finding it a bit easier to make ends meet.

The highest average income, according to the statistics, is Henleaze, while the lowest is Hartcliffe, in south Bristol.
