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

How Life Works Here

Livery Street is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 432 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 151 violent offences were recorded (35% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Blacc+Blond (hairdresser, 47m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 155m away. The median property price is £242,500, with a slight decline of 7% over five years. Based on 36 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 16 schools within 2 km, 15 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. 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. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and property investors. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 9% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
