The average doesn't take into account the size of households, but gives us an idea of the income divide faced by households across the North East.
The North Cramlington neighbourhood in Northumberland is the richest across the whole of the region with a total annual household income of £56,200.
Yet just five miles away is the poorest neighbourhood in Northumberland of Blyth Cowpen where the figure is less than half at £25,800.
This alarming trend is repeated in Newcastle where the richest neighbourhood is South Gosforth with an average household income of £52,500.
This compares to an income of £24,700 in Walker South located just five miles away, the poorest neighbourhood both in the city and the region as a whole.
