Is Winteringham a good place to live?
Where it does best is schools (A): primary results beat 100% of towns in England; secondary results beat 81% of towns in England. Most journeys need a car: nearly one in ten commuters walk, cycle or take public transport. Hazards are a real consideration: 5.7% of homes at high or medium risk of flooding from rivers or the sea. Homes sell for a median £250,000, about 5.6 years of what households in the North Lincolnshire council area earn.
Figures: commuting, Census 2021 · flood risk, Environment Agency · prices, HM Land Registry, the last three years · incomes, ONS. Below 2,500 residents there is no overall grade, so Winteringham has its subject grades alone.
