How Life Works Here
Countess Road is located in Sheffield. Crime is a significant concern, with 462 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 192 violent offences were recorded (42% 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 Kilnfolk (cafe, 28m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Bramall Lane/Denby Street) is 133m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 48 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.
