Things You Should Know
Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Transport score 10/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Low walkability (25) and transport (10) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Environment score 35/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
Transport score 10/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
How Life Works Here
Copeman Street is located in Norwich, Norfolk. Crime is a significant concern, with 2594 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 982 violent offences were recorded (38% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest public transport is 1,471m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. The median property price is £202,500, with moderate growth of 10% over five years. Based on 8 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 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 data suggests this area could appeal to property investors. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
