How Life Works Here
Broad Walk is located in Oxford, Oxfordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 1414 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 591 violent offences were recorded (42% 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 Longhorn Café (cafe, 10m). The nearest transport stop is 189m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. Properties here change hands infrequently. The surrounding LSOA is densely populated, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 4 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. Overall, this street scores 35 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
