Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
How Life Works Here
Alban Street is located in Bradford. Crime is a significant concern, with 509 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 263 violent offences were recorded (52% 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 and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 67m away. The median property price is £62,000, with moderate growth of 5% over five years. Based on 14 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 412m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
