Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 303 violent offences were recorded (40% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street.

The nearest is about 419m away. The median property price is £150,600, with moderate growth of 12% over five years. Based on 11 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted.

Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
