The average (or mean) household income in Preston, at an estimated £30,800 in 2008, was 89% of the Great Britain average and 97% of the Lancashire sub-region average. It was the 8th highest sum amongst the fourteen county and unitary districts. The median (or "typical") household income (£25,400) was the 9th highest in Lancashire. Fifteen or more than two-thirds of Preston's 22 wards had household income below the Great Britain average and 13 or 60% were below the Lancashire average. Preston's most prosperous wards were Preston Rural North (£43,200) and Garrison (£43,200 which ranked 10th and 11th respectively out of the 301 Lancashire wards. Household income in St. Matthews's (£22,300), Preston's lowest ranking ward was 70% that of the Lancashire average and barely half that in Preston Rural North.
