Things You Should Know

🚨
High Crime Area

Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

🚗
Car-dependent

Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transit options within walking distance.

⚠️
Price anomaly

How Life Works Here

The Moor is located in Sheffield. Crime is a significant concern, with 646 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 247 violent offences were recorded (38% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The nearest public transport is 26m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. The median property price is £1,130,000, though prices have fallen 50% over five years. Based on 18 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 10 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. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
