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
Burrowes Street is located in Walsall. Crime is a significant concern, with 2424 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 979 violent offences were recorded (40% 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 a Playground at 43m. Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 682m away. The median property price is £67,900, with strong growth of 47% over five years. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 14 schools within 2 km, 13 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 226m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
