East Riding of Yorkshire Council Tax 2026

How to read this stock pattern

Band D is a poor description of the largest group in East Riding of Yorkshire's housing stock. The dominant group is Band A, where the statutory charge is two-thirds of the Band D rate, while the reference band describes a different part of the valuation list. The £2,233.70 stock-weighted figure is therefore the more representative area-level comparison. It does not predict an individual bill, because discounts, exemptions and the property's actual valuation band still determine liability.

East Riding of Yorkshire has a broad valuation-band profile: the largest 3 groups are needed before the cumulative share passes half of the stock. No single band dominates the local picture, which makes a one-band headline especially incomplete. The weighted result is useful for comparing this authority with peers, but the spread across 8 published bands matters just as much. A broad mix also means the area-level mean is less representative of any one household than it is in a concentrated council.

East Riding of Yorkshire sits in the upper quarter of Yorkshire and The Humber on the stock-weighted ordering, above the regional median of £1,939.70. This narrows the comparison from a UK rank to authorities facing the same broad regional context, while still correcting each one for its different band mix. The placement says the council's average published stock is relatively costly within that peer set; it does not convert the mean into an individual household charge.

Closest housing-stock shape: South Derbyshire

South Derbyshire is an exceptionally close stock-shape match for East Riding of Yorkshire: moving 1.7% of dwellings between valuation bands would make the two published distributions align. That is a stricter comparison than sharing a modal band, because all published bands contribute to the distance.

Four largest band differences

• The largest separation is at reference Band D: its share is 15.5% in East Riding of Yorkshire and 16.4% in South Derbyshire. The familiar benchmark represents a larger slice of the peer's housing stock.
• A smaller distinction is lower on the ladder at Band A: East Riding of Yorkshire has 24.1% of dwellings there, against 23.2% in South Derbyshire. That extra lower-band weight pulls its stock profile away from the peer.
• A smaller distinction is lower on the ladder at Band C: East Riding of Yorkshire has 20.0% of dwellings there, against 19.2% in South Derbyshire. That extra lower-band weight pulls its stock profile away from the peer.
• A smaller distinction is an upper-band difference at Band E. South Derbyshire records 11.2% of dwellings there, compared with 10.5% in East Riding of Yorkshire, so the peer carries more of its stock at that higher rung.
