Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here
Old Station Yard is located in Vale of White Horse, near Abingdon-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 463 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 195 violent offences were recorded (42% 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 Avicenna Pharmacy (pharmacy, 42m). The nearest transport stop is 81m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £276,500, though prices have fallen 54% over five years. Based on 8 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. 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 42 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
