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
St Michael's Road is located in West Northamptonshire, near Northampton. Crime is a significant concern, with 548 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 268 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 TBS Jen Yin Temple (place of worship, 9m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 186m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 8 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. 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.
