Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 312 violent offences were recorded (51% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street.

Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 765m away. The median property price is £200,000, with moderate growth of 8% over five years.

There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 284m away.

Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
