I've been trying to model something along this by way of investigation, but sadly have run up against the evasive ONS who are systematically concealing the data

Can anyone lay hands on a recent figure for the median fulltime incomes for young people (22-29) for London and the South East please. I can get figures by region, but they don't appear to then overlay it with age brackets. Also their spreadsheet doesn't present the data either. Finally they produce a bar chart, for age brackets but this is visual only with a scale long the x axis that invites you to guess

The other critical piece of info I'm after (and again the ONS conceal this) is the average private rent for a 1 and 2 bedroom dwelling in London and the South East. The ONS have obviously take data but rather than tell us what it is, they've converted it into a Z score and the present it as figure against an index of 100 (in other words they've got out their way not tell you what the actual figure is)

The chances are I might be able to get this second figure from an estates agents survey like the Halifax, but I tend to be mildly suspcious of when government's have deliberately gone out their way to ensure they don't give you data that they do so because it paints a very grim picture
