How Life Works Here
St Helen's Pass 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. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Tuck Shop (convenience, 69m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 121m away. 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 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
