Questions people ask
Is Bristol safe?
Police recorded about 127 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, higher than South West as a whole (70.3). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.
How much do homes cost in Bristol?
Homes sold for a typical £4,260 per m² in the year to August 2026, higher than South West as a whole (£3,590 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £300,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.
How many schools are there in Bristol?
There are 102 state primary and 24 state secondary schools inside Bristol's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
Is Bristol a deprived area?
23% of Bristol's 268 neighbourhoods are among the most deprived fifth in England, and 21% among the least deprived fifth, on the official Index of Multiple Deprivation. It combines income, jobs, health, education, crime, housing and living environment.
