Wylam Street
South Tyneside, England

How Life Works Here
Wylam Street is located in South Tyneside, near Jarrow. Crime is a significant concern, with 495 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 167 violent offences were recorded (34% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Actice Chiropract Centre (clinic, 9m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Western Road-Chaytor Street) is 142m away. The median property price is £87,500. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Social housing makes up a significant share of properties. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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. This street may particularly suit young professionals. Overall, this street scores 54 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.
