Crime in context
Recorded crime in the local area stands at 4,954 incidents in the past year, which is 4.9% lower than a year ago. Violence and sexual offences remains the most common category, as it was three years ago. The figure is drawn at LSOA level, so it is best read as the local area rather than the exact postcode.
House prices in depth
The postcode sector median sold price is £239,000, set against a wider district median of £235,000 and a national median of £284,238. The sector figure is based on only a handful of recent sales, so it should be treated as indicative rather than typical. By type, flats have a median of £130,000 from 11 sales, while semi-detached homes show £268,000 from just 1 sale and terraced homes £305,000 from just 1 sale. Those single-sale figures are too thin to treat as settled local benchmarks.
