Score 30/100. This is an LSOA incident-count proxy, not a population-adjusted crime rate.
How Life Works Here
Laud Close is located in Reading. The associated LSOA area has 215 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. No nearby amenity records are available in this extract. Recorded nearby transport modes: rail and bus. The nearest mapped stop (Admirals Court) is 101m 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 2,101; owner-occupied homes 16.9%; social housing 12.2%; retired population 7.2%; average household size 2.2. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 320m away. Proximity does not establish admissions eligibility, catchment or personal suitability. The highest available weighted profile is families at 49/100. This is a comparison of recorded inputs, not a recommendation or a forecast of returns. The available indicators produce a composite score of 49/100. Its recorded district percentile is 37. Missing dimensions are excluded; scores are proxies rather than measurements of personal liveability.
