Street-crime records per 1,000 residents

Published street-crime records (including anti-social behaviour), September 2025 to August 2026, per 1,000 usual residents in the Census 2021.

TA3

49.7

Avon and Somerset Police

113.1

759 records and 15,268 residents. Residents-only rates overstate crime where many people visit who do not live there, such as city centres, stations, and retail parks. Residents are counted at March 2021 while records are current, so areas with many newer homes can read higher.

No England and Wales comparison is shown, because not every force involved has published every month of this window.

Rates cover England and Wales only. Residents: Office for National Statistics, Census 2021 postcode estimates, Open Government Licence v3.0. How rates are built.

Where records cluster in TA3

Published street-crime records in TA3, September 2025 to August 2026, grouped into hexagons

Records by part of TA3: the north 378, the north-west 257, the west 137, the north-east 122, the east 50, the south-west 36, the centre 9, the south-east 4, the south 2.

North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 1.2 km across, the size the crime map uses zoomed out, and holds at least one of TA3's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and TA3'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 TA3 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore TA3 on the crime map.

Is TA3 safe?

We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for TA3 from September 2025 to August 2026.

The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in TA3 a record came from, or how a place feels at different times of day. The rate per 1,000 residents is above. See the limits to keep in mind.

Deprivation where residents live

Covers 100.0% of the 15,268 Census 2021 residents of TA3.

England: English Indices of Deprivation 2025

Of these residents in England, 0.0% live in the most deprived 20% of England's neighbourhoods and 13.0% in the least deprived 20%.

Share of residents in each decile, from 1 (most deprived) to 10 (least deprived) of England's small areas.

Deciles rank neighbourhoods within one nation, so English and Welsh deciles don't compare. They describe areas, not the people living in them, and crime is one of the things the index measures, so this mix partly overlaps the crime figures above. How this is built.
