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
Field Street is located in Walsall, near Willenhall. Crime is a significant concern, with 430 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 210 violent offences were recorded (49% 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 Willenhall, Salvation Army Foodbank (social facility, 45m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 483m away. The median property price is £195,000, with a slight decline of 7% over five years. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. 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 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
