How Life Works Here
Old Vicarage Place is located in Cornwall, near St Austell. Crime is a significant concern, with 451 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 216 violent offences were recorded (48% 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 Crepes & Waffles (restaurant, 47m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Duke Street) is 58m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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 20% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
