How Life Works Here
Clifford Street is located in York. Crime is a significant concern, with 1935 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 703 violent offences were recorded (36% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Clifford Street) is 37m away. The median property price is £222,222, with exceptional growth of 318% over five years. Based on 17 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 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. This street may particularly suit property investors.

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