Greater Manchester Police have not published street-level crime data to data.police.uk since July 2019, so there is nothing reliable to show here. That is a gap in their records, not a quiet area.

How this area has changed
Typical prices for detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Douglas Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector BL6 7 | – | £325,000 | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Bolton | £356,148 | £305,000 +17% since | £226,698 +57% since | £210,000 +70% since | £219,950 +62% since |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
Crime within about 500 metres. Greater Manchester Police have not published street-level crime data to data.police.uk since July 2019, so there is nothing reliable to show here. That is a gap in their records, not a quiet area.
