How Life Works Here
Young Street 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. 212 violent offences were recorded (46% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Moore Street/Fitzwilliam Street) is 101m away. The median property price is £3,630,744. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. Overall, this street scores 49 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
