How Life Works Here

The Moors is located in Worcester, Worcestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 377 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 138 violent offences were recorded (37% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Barbourne Ex Services Club (community centre, 55m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Moor Street) is 322m away. The median property price is £470,000, though prices have fallen 14% over five years. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
