Avon and Somerset Constabulary recorded 291 crimes inside this ward's official boundary over the 3 months to July 2026 — an average of 6.9 per 1,000 residents a month, the 28th highest rate of Bristol's 34 wards. The daytime score here is driven by vehicle crime (10), burglary (5), drugs (1); the evening/night score by violent crime (40), anti social behaviour (14), public order (7). Those two scores are split by offence type, not by clock time — the police feed records no time of day, so day and night here mean the kinds of crime typical of each, not counts of incidents observed then. Rated against the average of the city's own wards, never against another city.

Frequently asked questions
Is Windmill Hill safe?
Wandroz currently rates Windmill Hill in Bristol as relatively safer than most other neighbourhoods in Bristol, both by day and after dark. This rating is derived from Avon and Somerset Constabulary street-level crime records published at data.police.uk — an official statistic, not an assessment. High-footfall tourist, transit or shopping areas can read higher on this kind of measure without that meaning elevated risk per visit, since these statistics are normalised against registered residents rather than footfall — see the note on this page and the methodology page for the full caveats.
Is Windmill Hill safe at night?
At night, Windmill Hill is rated as relatively safer than most other neighbourhoods in Bristol. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is Windmill Hill a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Windmill Hill's day rating (relatively safer than most other neighbourhoods in Bristol) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. Note that the Booking.com link on this page searches Bristol, not Windmill Hill specifically: Booking does not list this neighbourhood as a destination of its own, so check each property's address against the map above.
Is there official crime data for Windmill Hill?
Yes. Windmill Hill's rating is derived from Avon and Somerset Constabulary street-level crime records published at data.police.uk, not an assessment — see the note on this page for the exact figure and the methodology page for full sourcing.
