How Life Works Here
Malcolm Street is located in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 928 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 324 violent offences were recorded (35% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 8 facilities within walking distance, including pub (2), restaurant (2), and bar (1). The closest is The Cambridge Brew House (pub, 69m). Public transport options are limited. A car is recommended for commuting and longer journeys. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 225m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 48 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.
