Questions people ask
Is Wyre Forest safe?
Police recorded about 74.2 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 Wyre Forest?
Homes sold for a typical £2,930 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 £205,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.
How many schools are there in Wyre Forest?
There are 27 state primary and 6 state secondary schools inside Wyre Forest's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.

18% of Wyre Forest's 67 neighbourhoods are among the most deprived fifth in England, and 16% among the least deprived fifth, on the official Index of Multiple Deprivation. It combines income, jobs, health, education, crime, housing and living environment.
