Things You Should Know

High Crime Area

Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here

Hurdlow Avenue is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 758 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 269 violent offences were recorded (35% 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. Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 564m away. The median property price is £116,200, with exceptional growth of 74% over five years. Based on 9 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 357m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
