How Life Works Here
Duck Street is located in North Northamptonshire, near Rushden. Crime is a significant concern, with 410 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 182 violent offences were recorded (44% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 Hollis Bros (butcher, 11m). The nearest transport stop is 74m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £106,000. Based on 15 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 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. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
