Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here
Wesley Street is located in Sandwell, near Oldbury. Crime is a significant concern, with 641 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 344 violent offences were recorded (54% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 The Fountain Of Life, Black Country Foodbank (social facility, 29m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 473m away. The median property price is £94,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. 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.
