How it compares

  • Crime: 3.0× the typical Chesterfield neighbourhood
  • Crime: 3.4× the typical England & Wales neighbourhood

Recorded crime in this neighbourhood compared with the typical (median) neighbourhood in Chesterfield and in England & Wales, over the last 12 months. Neighbourhoods here are official statistics areas (LSOAs) of broadly similar population, roughly 1,500 residents each, so this is a like-for-like comparison but not a per-resident rate. Areas with busy town centres or stations record more crime because of visitors, not just residents.

This is coverage — what networks can reach premises — not the speed any one home gets. Ofcom has no figures for this exact postcode, so only council and national figures are shown. Ofcom does not publish full fibre per postcode, so that figure is for the whole council area. "Below the USO" means a premises cannot get a decent connection (10 Mbit/s download and 1 Mbit/s upload) from a fixed line or fixed wireless network.

The Valuation Office Agency rounds counts to the nearest 10 and does not publish very small counts (shown as –). Charges are council-wide averages including parish and adult social care precepts; a home’s bill depends on its band, its parish and any discounts.

Distances are straight lines from the middle of the postcode, not walking or driving routes. Living near a school does not mean you are in its catchment area, so check admissions with the council. Ofsted stopped giving a single overall grade in September 2024, and inspections from November 2025 give a report card with a grade for each area. We show what Ofsted published for each school's latest inspection.
