Neighbourhood safety for travellers
Every area rated for day and night, with the reasoning and the sources behind each rating.
🟢 Official crime data · Avon and Somerset Constabulary, data.police.uk Day and night here are split by offence type, not by clock time: the police feed records no time of day, so “by day” weights shoplifting, theft and burglary and “at night” weights violence, robbery and anti-social behaviour. An area with a busy high street and quiet evenings can therefore read worse by day, and that is the offence mix, not a count of incidents seen at each hour. Each area page shows the figures behind both. Methodology →
For a short stay in Bristol: Central and Redland. One area for each kind of trip, each shown with its own day and night rating — including where that rating says be careful. None of them is here because someone paid for it.
Ordered by how much each area differs from the rest of the city, not by rating — the unusual ones first. Click a column to sort it your way.
