Things You Should Know

Low area-safety score

Score 40/100. This is an LSOA incident-count proxy, not a population-adjusted crime rate.

How Life Works Here

William Street is located in Somerset, near Taunton. The associated LSOA area has 175 recorded incidents from 2025-08 to 2026-07. Incident rows were observed in 12 of the 12 selected months. These are area counts, not street-level incidents or population-adjusted rates; they do not establish a comparison with local or national averages. No nearby amenity records are available in this extract. Recorded nearby transport modes: rail and bus. The nearest mapped stop (Taunton Station) is 158m away. Check current routes and service frequency with the operator. The price sample is too small to publish a median; at least eight recorded transactions are required. LSOA source indicators: recorded population 1,504; owner-occupied homes 35.7%; social housing 2.5%; retired population 18.8%; average household size 2.3. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. Proximity does not establish admissions eligibility, catchment or personal suitability. The highest available weighted profile is young professionals at 62/100. This is a comparison of recorded inputs, not a recommendation or a forecast of returns. The available indicators produce a composite score of 59/100. Its recorded district percentile is 99.
