The findings paint a stark picture of financial hardship faced by many in the Midlands city. On average, residents in Leicester have a gross disposable income of just £16,067, the lowest among English cities. This lack of spare cash places residents in a continuous cycle of poverty, struggling to meet everyday expenses with little to no money available for leisure, savings, or emergencies.
