The 10 worst places to live in Britain if you're a woman

Now, BBC Radio 4's "Woman's Hour" has released a list of the best places to live in Britain as a woman — as well as the worst.

The data splits Britain into 380 regions, then ranks them from 1 to 380 for a variety of factors, including the price of local housing, safety, life satisfaction, and the average woman's full-time salary — taking into account the local gender pay gap, too.

East Dunbartonshire in Scotland was named the best place to live as a woman, thanks to its excellent education facilities, pleasant environment, and average woman's income.

Scotland, the Southeast of England, and the West Midlands entirely dominate the top 10 best places to live as a woman, which include West Oxfordshire, which placed third, and Shropshire, which placed 10th.

Towards the bottom of the table, four London boroughs fall amongst the 10 worst places to live in Britain as a woman. Islington was named the number one worst place to live for women due to its unaffordable housing, large gender pay gap, and low levels of life satisfaction and happiness amongst female inhabitants.

Kingston upon Hull, ranked fifth worst place to live as a woman, was named the worst place for a woman to live under the age of 30 due to high levels of unemployment in the area.

Scroll on to see the 10 worst places to live in Britain as a woman, ranked in ascending order.
