How Life Works Here
Wadham Street is located in North Somerset, near Weston-super-Mare. Crime is a significant concern, with 498 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 284 violent offences were recorded (57% 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 High Street Post Office (post office, 48m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Weston College) is 87m away. The median property price is £112,000, though prices have fallen 19% over five years. Based on 10 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (sea flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. This street may particularly suit young professionals. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
