Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 143 violent offences were recorded (37% of total).

However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors.

Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
