Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here
King Street is located in Dudley. Crime is a significant concern, with 605 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 332 violent offences were recorded (55% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Gymophobics (sports centre, 18m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 219m away. The median property price is £128,000, with strong growth of 39% over five years. Based on 134 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. 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. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 49 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
