Why is Hull so poor? We have produced a video about the poorest cities in the UK. You’ve likely seen also what we or others have done about rankings of British cities as regards affordability, livability, beauty, crime, depravity, and cost of living. One thing is common in all these videos if you have seen them. Kingston Upon Hull has been ranked, not among the best cities to live in, the most beautiful cities, or the safest, but among the most deprived, the most dangerous, and the poorest. Enough has probably not been said in those videos to convince many fans of the city. That’s why we are devoting this video to only Kingston Upon Hull as one of the poorest cities in the United Kingdom. About Kingston Upon Hull Please permit us to come down to the level of those who may not have seen the video we did about the city and those who need to know one or two things about the city we’re about to analyze. Thus, we’re starting by introducing the city of Kingston Upon Hull to you. This is a port city with a unitary authority type of government located in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Usually abbreviated to Hull, the city lies upon the River Hull, its namesake, at its confluence with the Humber Estuary, 40 kilometers inland from the North Sea, 80 kilometers east of Leeds, 55 kilometers southeast of York, and 87 kilometers northeast of Sheffield. The total land area of the city that got its city status in 1897 is 71.5 square kilometers. Going by the latest official population estimate of 259,778 which ranked it 64th in the country, the city’s population density is fair at 3,633 people per square kilometer. In the whole borough of Yorkshire, not just the ceremonial county of East Riding, and the Humber region, it’s the fourth-largest city, even though very poor. People from Kingston Upon Hull are called Hullensians. Summary of Several Rankings An article recently published in The Guardian international entitled, “To Hull and back: the rebirth of Britain’s poorest city,” quotes Naomi Clayton of the Centre for Cities as agreeing that Hull fits in the national picture of the second poorest city in less than a decade ago. She reeled out a set of damning statistics, including the city having the lowest rate of employment and the highest ratio of Job Seekers’ Allowance claimants. She also said Hull is the UK’s poorest city in terms of the weekly wage and that it has a major skills shortage and low rates of business startups. According to this official, it has a high crime rate and a very low percentage of residents with, at least, NVQ4 qualifications. Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) also indicates that this city has one of the lowest house prices for all types of property among towns and cities in England and Wales. The ONS also ranks Hull very low in areas of the number of businesses, industries, and trades. That’s why its data, covering employment rates, earnings, and hours of work, the body says Hull is a poor city. Other figures given by a highly credible Legatum Institute, a charity based in London, that releases the annual global Prosperity Index are also damning for Kingston Upon Hull. According to the Institute, the city performed poorly below standard and expectation on prosperity in 6 of the 7 pillars of the Index. It adds that the data marks a deep-woven pattern of poverty and deprivation and it goes beyond economic circumstances. The Institute further states that the city was found to be the worst for essential services overall and it ranks second worst for schools and education centers and third worst for the fire-fighting staff strength.
