Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here
Barlow Street is located in Hyndburn, near Accrington, Lancashire. Crime is a significant concern, with 464 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 172 violent offences were recorded (37% 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 Raza Jamia Masjid (place of worship, 58m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Princess Street) is 143m away. The median property price is £149,995. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 257m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. 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.
