How Life Works Here
Shirley Road 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 dominates reports. 332 violent offences were recorded (55% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 682m away. The median property price is £9,750. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 111m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The data suggests this area could appeal to first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
