Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
How Life Works Here
Market Street is located in Tamworth, Staffordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 953 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 438 violent offences were recorded (46% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is an ATM at 18m. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (New Street) is 209m away. The median property price is £293,500, though prices have fallen 57% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 500m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
