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
Clifton Street is located in Middlesbrough. Crime is a significant concern, with 574 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 274 violent offences were recorded (48% 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 Bobby's Afro Caribbean Shop (convenience, 47m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 166m away. The median property price is £69,000, with moderate growth of 8% over five years. Based on 38 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 293m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
