How we grade areas

The Safety grade ranks recorded police crime — per head of population where ONS figures are available, otherwise by total recorded crime. Figures are estimates to aid research, not a substitute for visiting an area.

2 in CassingtonIs Cassington a good retirement location?
Cassington suits people seeking a lively social environment with decent local services and outdoor access. The share of residents aged 65+ (18.3%) is just below the national average, so it's not a retirement hotspot, but there's enough community life and infrastructure to support later-living well. Families should weigh proximity to care homes and their own support networks carefully.
Health & support
- Medical access: You'll need to confirm distances to the nearest GP surgeries, pharmacies and hospital emergency services as part of your care-home search — contact local homes for details.
- Safety: Recorded crime stands at 324 offences in the 2026-04 period, with violent crime and shoplifting among the most common. This is a figure to weigh against your own comfort.
- Family & connection: Consider whether family and support networks can reach you easily; isolation is a real risk in later life, regardless of local amenities.
Finances & daily life
- Cost of care: Check individual care-home fees against the national average for your region; costs vary widely by home and level of care.
- Transport: Confirm bus and rail links to nearby towns and cities as part of your decision — mobility and access to specialist services matter.
- Housing options: Care-home provision in Cassington should be explored directly with local operators and the care-home directory.
Lifestyle & environment
- Green space & hobbies: Cassington has 31 parks and 11 allotments, offering good scope for walks and gardening. There are 85 pubs and bars and 267 restaurants and cafes, supporting an active social life.
- Community: Look into what memory cafés, social groups and support networks are run by local care homes or community organisations.
- Climate: South East England typically has mild winters and moderate rainfall — generally comfortable, though damp spells are common.
Things to weigh up
- Crime levels: Violent crime and shoplifting are the most common offences recorded; factor this into your sense of safety and whether the town feels right for you.
- Population and retirement provision: With 18.3% of residents aged 65+, this is not a traditional retirement area, so the range and availability of care homes may be more limited than in established older-population towns.
