Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Family score 25 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Median price £384,000 based on only 3 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
How Life Works Here
Market Street is located in Wyre Forest, near Kidderminster, Worcestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 850 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 341 violent offences were recorded (40% 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 L'Opera (restaurant, 56m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Town Hall) is 111m away. The median property price is £384,000. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
