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
Howarth Lane is located in Kirklees, near Huddersfield. Crime is a significant concern, with 317 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 193 violent offences were recorded (61% of total). 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 links nearby. The nearest stop (Lockwood Rail Station) is 96m away. The median property price is £102,500. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 477m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
