Leeds has been named one of UK’s ‘loneliest’ cities with high percentage of people living alone

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

According to new research, Leeds has been named one of the ‘loneliest’ in the UK due to the number of single occupants.

Living alone used to be seen as somewhat of a short-term ‘phase’, often between living in family homes or house shares, but today it’s a completely different story, as solo living is fast becoming a defining feature of urban Britain.

From high-rise studio flats, to compact commuter apartments, single-occupancy living is reshaping the character of many UK cities.

While for some, living alone simply represents independence and flexibility, for others it’s more a case of necessity – with wider demographic data apparently showing single-occupancy linked to student populations, delayed family formation, career mobility, and rising house prices that make shared living less practical.

But, with all things considered then, which towns and cities in the UK have the most solo occupants? The ‘loneliest’ cities, if you will.

A new study by Tarotoo set out to identify where solo living is most concentrated across the UK, with researchers analysing 58 cities, examining the number of studio and one-bedroom homes listed for sale or rent per 10,000 residents using Rightmove data – and it was Salford over in Manchester that came out on top.

Salford topped the ranking with a striking 158.08 single-occupancy homes per 10,000 people, which is more than double the figure of the city in second place, and also vastly ahead of the national average.

Leeds came in fifth place with a score of 50.62, standing out as one of the largest cities in the top tier.

Other northern cities in the top 20 include Lancaster at fourth place, and outside the top 20 is where you’ll find other northern cities like Liverpool, Chester, York, and Sheffield.

At the opposite end of the ranking, Newport records just 2.59 single-occupancy homes per 10,000 people, which is the lowest figure in the study, and it’s then followed by Glasgow (3.29), Swansea (3.78), Dundee (4.33), and Stoke-on-Trent (4.51).

Horsforth Brewery to takeover and save beloved Ilkley tap house

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

A renowned brewery have announced that they will be taking over the reigns of a popular craft beer bottle shop in Ilkley.

Fuggle & Golding opened in 2015 on Leeds road in Ilkley and quickly grew a loyal following with locals and visitors alike.

Sadly they announced last month that their last day of trading would be Saturday 28 February, news which was met with huge disappointment.

However this is no longer the case, as Horsforth Brewery is set to reopen the venue on Wednesday. Hooray!

Announcing the welcomed news to Instagram, Horsforth Brewery wrote: "When we saw they were going to close we were determined to not lose another great venue from the local beer scene.

"We owe a massive thank you to George and the landlord for getting a deal across the line in quick order.

"We’re going to take a few days to put our stamp on the place and then we will be open on Wednesday!"

"Obviously we will be stocking our beers here but as anyone who knows will know, we love the beer scene so we will continue to have a good amount of guest beer on as well. We’ll even been joining in with the biggest beer launches from around the country.

"Want to know the best news? We’re doing this solo. No outside interests, no investors, no debt. In the current climate being able to organically grow like this is so so hard and it’s thanks to all our team that we’ve been able to do this.

"We’ve always been determined to grow our business in a healthy and sustainable way; it may have (absolutely has) been tough over the years but we’ve got ourselves in a position to take us to the next level in a sustainable way."
