How Life Works Here
Job's Yard is located in North Northamptonshire, near Kettering. Crime is a significant concern, with 1146 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 403 violent offences were recorded (35% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Premier (convenience, 19m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Ebenezer Place) is 67m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. 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. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 54 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 5% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
