How Life Works Here
Black Jack Street is located in Cotswold, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 714 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 224 violent offences were recorded (31% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 17 facilities within walking distance, including clothes (5), cafe (4), and hairdresser (2). The closest is Sassy & Boo (clothes, 8m). The nearest transport stop is 109m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £267,500, though prices have fallen 53% over five years. Based on 12 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 345m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. This street may particularly suit young professionals. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
