Area safety score 25/100 — based on recorded incident counts for the associated LSOA, not this specific street. Counts are not adjusted for population and do not establish an above-average crime rate.
Score 25/100. This is an LSOA incident-count proxy, not a population-adjusted crime rate.
How Life Works Here
Chain Alley is located in Oxford, Oxfordshire. The associated LSOA area has 2400 recorded incidents from 2025-08 to 2026-07. Incident rows were observed in 12 of the 12 selected months. These are area counts, not street-level incidents or population-adjusted rates; they do not establish a comparison with local or national averages. The dataset records 4 nearby amenities. The closest is The Oxo Bar (bar, 21m). Distances do not establish a walkable route or current opening hours. Recorded nearby transport modes: rail and bus. The nearest mapped stop (Gloucester Green Bus Station) is 36m away. Check current routes and service frequency with the operator. The price sample is too small to publish a median; at least eight recorded transactions are required. LSOA source indicators: recorded population 9,900; owner-occupied homes 8.6%; social housing 6.4%; retired population 1.1%; average household size 17.6. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. Proximity does not establish admissions eligibility, catchment or personal suitability. The highest available weighted profile is young professionals at 65/100. This is a comparison of recorded inputs, not a recommendation or a forecast of returns. The available indicators produce a composite score of 58/100. Its recorded district percentile is 91.
