How Life Works Here
Skinnerthorpe Road is located in Sheffield. Crime is a significant concern, with 387 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 163 violent offences were recorded (42% of total). Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Pizza Place (fast food, 75m). The nearest transport stop is 62m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £625,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 228m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
