How we grade areas
Grades are relative, comparing this area against others of the same type across the UK. Amenity grades are based on OpenStreetMap counts within a fixed radius. The Safety & Peace grade ranks recorded anti-social behaviour and public-disorder incidents (the offences most relevant to a quiet neighbourhood) — per head of population where ONS figures are available, otherwise by count. Scottish towns are graded against other Scottish towns, from Police Scotland’s 12-month figures for the council wards they sit in, per head of those wards’ population (National Records of Scotland). Figures are estimates to aid research, not a substitute for visiting an area.

Is Farnham Common a good retirement location?
Read our guide to living in Farnham Common
Farnham Common is a mature retirement area — its 19.1% over-65 population sits just above the national average, suggesting it is an established place for later-life living. It suits people who want a well-stocked local high street, good access to parks and cafes, and a blend of quiet and community activity. The area is not remote, and care-home provision is available, making it a reasonable choice for those with family or support networks already nearby.
Health & support
- Medical access: You will need to check the exact distance and opening hours of local GP surgeries and pharmacies; these are typically found in the town centre or nearby villages. Distance to an emergency hospital should be confirmed with your GP practice.
- Safety: Recorded crime stands at 434 offences in the latest reporting period, with violent crime, shoplifting and public order offences most common. This is a point to weigh carefully against your own comfort with local safety.
- Family & connection: Consider how close your family and existing social networks are; this will affect how often you can meet up and how supported you'll feel.
