How Life Works Here
Selborne Street is located in Walsall. Crime is a significant concern, with 413 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 229 violent offences were recorded (55% 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 The Corner Cafe (cafe, 59m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 959m away. The median property price is £150,000, with a slight decline of 7% over five years. Based on 7 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 217m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
