Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision.

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