How Life Works Here
Derriford Park is located in City of Plymouth, near Plymouth. Crime is a significant concern, with 564 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 348 violent offences were recorded (62% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Home Care (social facility, 48m). The nearest transport stop is 95m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. 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 7 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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. Overall, this street scores 36 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
