How Life Works Here
B4114 is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 597 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 229 violent offences were recorded (38% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is Rio's piri piri (fast food, 78m). The nearest public transport is 1,088m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with larger households suggesting families. There are 18 schools within 2 km, 17 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 37 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
