How we calculate this rank & percentile
We compare every UK billing authority with a published 2026-27 Band D rate (350 in total). Rank is one plus the number with a higher charge, so equal charges share a rank. Percentile is round(authorities with a lower charge ÷ 350 × 100). The UK average is the simple mean of every council's Band D rate in our coverage set. Because the rank spans all three nations, it compares what each authority charges, not what each charge buys. English bands rest on 1991 property values in eight bands, A to H, while Scotland uses its own 1991 thresholds and Wales revalued to 2003 values with a ninth band. An English Band D home is therefore not the same property profile as a Welsh or Scottish one. Nearest published Band D rates sit with Hyndburn, Redditch, Dover, Warwick, then Wyre, North Norfolk.

What North Tyneside's 102,140 properties actually pay
Most homes in North Tyneside sit in Band A, the bottom of the valuation list: 50,570 of 102,140 dwellings (49.5%). Band A is charged at two-thirds of the Band D rate, so the headline figure above describes a property type that is in the minority here. Bands A and C between them account for 69.3% of the stock. 85.2% of dwellings on the England valuation list here are banded below D.
Weighting each band's statutory charge by the number of properties in it gives a stock-weighted average of £1,962.91 per dwelling, £498.86 (20.3%) below the £2,461.77 Band D headline, because most of the stock sits in bands charged at less than the Band D rate. On that measure North Tyneside is 266th of 318 authorities with published stock counts, against a £2,269.00 average. That places North Tyneside 10th of the 12 billing authorities in North East, below the regional median of £2,065.00.
How to read this stock pattern
Band D is a poor description of the largest group in North Tyneside'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 £1,962.91 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.
This is a two-band centre rather than a single-band market. Bands A and C together contain 69.3% of dwellings, so neither band should be presented as a complete account of the area. The stock-weighted result combines both groups and the smaller tails into one comparable measure. The table shows where that mean comes from and prevents the distribution being flattened into an overconfident "typical property" claim.
North Tyneside falls in the lower quarter of the North East stock-weighted ordering, below the regional median of £2,065.00. Its Band D figure may sit elsewhere in the national table, but applying the local stock mix produces a cheaper regional comparison. That difference is precisely why both measures are shown. Neither replaces an address-level bill, which depends on the property's valuation band and any applicable reductions.
Closest housing-stock shape: Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough is an exceptionally close stock-shape match for North Tyneside: moving 2.5% 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 lower on the ladder at Band C: North Tyneside has 19.8% of dwellings there, against 17.5% in Middlesbrough. That extra lower-band weight pulls its stock profile away from the peer.
- A smaller distinction sits at lower Band B, where Middlesbrough holds 17.4% of its stock and North Tyneside holds 15.9%. The peer is more bottom-weighted at this rung of the valuation list.
- A smaller distinction is an upper-band difference at Band G. Middlesbrough records 0.9% of dwellings there, compared with 0.4% in North Tyneside, so the peer carries more of its stock at that higher rung.
- A smaller distinction sits at lower Band A, where Middlesbrough holds 49.7% of its stock and North Tyneside holds 49.5%. The peer is more bottom-weighted at this rung of the valuation list.
How the wider profile compares
North Tyneside has the stronger combined lower-band tilt: Bands A to C account for 0.6% more of its stock than they do in Middlesbrough. The nearest match still leaves that bottom-of-ladder difference visible.
Across Bands E and above the combined shares differ by 0.4%. As with the lower bands, this net comparison does not erase any opposing gaps between individual upper bands.
Both profiles peak in Band A, so the peer match agrees on the most common valuation group as well as the full-distribution distance. The band-by-band gaps above show why a shared mode does not make the profiles interchangeable.
Band F is the most stable point in the comparison, with shares of 1.6% and 1.6%. Reading that near-match beside the largest gaps prevents the peer label from hiding where the two published distributions actually agree.

Counts are published rounded to the nearest 10, so shares are approximate and may not sum to exactly 100%. The stock-weighted average is our calculation: each band's 2026/2027 charge multiplied by its property count, divided by the total. It is a mean across the whole stock, not a bill any individual household receives.
