The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 12 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 crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision.

Overall, this street scores 47 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
