Questions people ask
Is Redditch safe?
Police recorded about 75.8 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, lower than West Midlands as a whole (84.7). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.
How much do homes cost in Redditch?
Homes sold for a typical £3,130 per m² in the year to August 2026, about the same as West Midlands as a whole (£2,960 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £220,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.
How many schools are there in Redditch?
There are 19 state primary and 11 state secondary schools inside Redditch's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
Is Redditch a deprived area?
23% of Redditch's 57 neighbourhoods are among the most deprived fifth in England, and 30% among the least deprived fifth, on the official Index of Multiple Deprivation. It combines income, jobs, health, education, crime, housing and living environment.
