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.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
How Life Works Here
The Inhedge is located in Dudley. Crime is a significant concern, with 436 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 231 violent offences were recorded (53% 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 Blush (hairdresser, 73m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 440m away. The median property price is £230,000, with exceptional growth of 185% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 401m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
