How Life Works Here
Allison Street is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 2060 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 669 violent offences were recorded (32% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 188m away. The median property price is £152,625, with moderate growth of 2% over five years. Based on 22 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a significant social housing presence, with larger households suggesting families. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 55 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 5% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
