How Life Works Here

Hillfort Close is located in Dorset, near Dorchester. The associated LSOA area has 62 recorded incidents from 2025-08 to 2026-07. Incident rows were observed in 12 of the 12 selected months. These are area counts, not street-level incidents or population-adjusted rates; they do not establish a comparison with local or national averages. No nearby amenity records are available in this extract. Recorded nearby transport modes: rail and bus. The nearest mapped stop (Vespasian Way) is 156m away. Check current routes and service frequency with the operator. The price sample is too small to publish a median; at least eight recorded transactions are required. LSOA source indicators: recorded population 1,448; owner-occupied homes 42.4%; social housing 3.4%; retired population 31.2%; average household size 2.3. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 459m away. Proximity does not establish admissions eligibility, catchment or personal suitability. The highest available weighted profile is first time buyers at 65/100. This is a comparison of recorded inputs, not a recommendation or a forecast of returns. The available indicators produce a composite score of 62/100. Its recorded district percentile is 99.
