Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 144 violent offences were recorded (32% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby.

Rented accommodation predominates. There are 26 schools within 2 km, 25 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 7 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 291m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity.

Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
