Shoplifting dominates reports. 104 violent offences were recorded (35% 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 (Station Street) is 156m away. The median property price is £245,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 2 schools within 2 km. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. 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.
