The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in North Yorkshire at £838 a month as of Jun 2026 — £586 for a one-bedroom home and £929 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £249,950 here, that rent is a gross yield of 4.02% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
No street-level crime was published for HG4 in Jun 2026. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.

Kirkby Drive, Ripon sits in North Yorkshire, in the Yorkshire and The Humber.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in North Yorkshire at 7.9 times median local earnings of £34,785 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Kirkby Drive, Ripon?

How many homes have sold in Kirkby Drive, Ripon?
57 sales are on record for Kirkby Drive, Ripon, the most recent completing on 16 Oct 2024. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +41.7% between 2016 and 2024. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +6.8%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Kirkby Drive, Ripon house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £425,000, set in 2024. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Kirkby Drive, Ripon?
£2,680 per square metre, from the 16 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 16 Oct 2024. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
