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.
Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Family score 15 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Low walkability (25) and transport (20) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Daily access score 6/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Environment score 23/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
How Life Works Here
Albutts Road is located in Cannock Chase, near Common Side, Staffordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 333 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 165 violent offences were recorded (50% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Asda On The Move (convenience, 502m). The nearest public transport is 497m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population. There are 3 schools within 2 km. 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. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 25 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
