Macaulay Street
Leeds, England

How Life Works Here
Macaulay Street is located in Leeds. Crime is a significant concern, with 629 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 269 violent offences were recorded (43% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 5 facilities within walking distance, including bakery (1), cafe (1), and clothes (1). The closest is The Wren Bakery (cafe, 87m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 141m away. The median property price is £950,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 15 schools within 2 km, 14 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 6 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 101m 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 retirees. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
