Things You Should Know
Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Family score 25 and safety 25. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.

Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
How Life Works Here
Pool Road is located in Lichfield, near Burntwood, Staffordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 438 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 154 violent offences were recorded (35% 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 The Uxbridge Arms (pub, 47m). The nearest transport stop is 76m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £438,000, with strong growth of 28% over five years. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 72m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The data suggests this area could appeal to property investors. Overall, this street scores 38 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
