How Life Works Here
Earl Street is located in City of Leicester, near Leicester. Crime is a significant concern, with 805 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 369 violent offences were recorded (46% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Voo Bar (cafe, 39m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 92m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 14% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
