Where records cluster in BS98
Records by part of BS98: the centre 1,091.
North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 300 m across, the size the crime map uses zoomed in, and holds at least one of BS98's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BS98's records placed outside these hexagons are not drawn, so the map's counts won't add up to the page's total. Police place each record at an approximate public point, so this shows which parts of BS98 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BS98 on the crime map.

Is BS98 safe?
We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for BS98 from September 2025 to August 2026.
About 13 records a month. The busiest month was March 2026, with 29.
Records here changed by +285.4% on the 12 months before, against +3.5% across the Avon and Somerset Police area over the same months. With 158 records a year, a change of a few percent can be chance.
Anti-social behaviour is the largest category, at 60.8% of records, against 15.7% across England and Wales over the same months.
The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in BS98 a record came from, or how a place feels at different times of day. See the limits to keep in mind.
Limits to keep in mind
Published locations are approximate; they are snapped to anonymous map points before release, and each record is assigned to a district by its nearest postcode. Counts near district boundaries are indicative.
These are counts of published police records, not all crime, and not a safety score.
Outcome labels in the source data are not court results or conviction rates.
