Safety: Crime is moderate at 55 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
