How Life Works Here
Library Place is located in Worthing, West Sussex. Crime is a significant concern, with 1011 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 453 violent offences were recorded (45% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is The Projectionist's Bar (bar, 21m). The nearest transport stop is 75m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 7 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. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (sea flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. 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.
