How Life Works Here
Longwall Street is located in Oxford, Oxfordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 2427 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 957 violent offences were recorded (39% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 6 facilities within walking distance, including cafe (2), restaurant (2), and convenience (1). The closest is Ramen Korner (restaurant, 81m). The nearest transport stop is 200m 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 6 schools within 2 km, 6 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 46 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
