Redland, Bristol, City of: Safety
Safety
Redland's crime rate sits well below the UK average. You're looking at around 60 to 65 crimes per 1,000 residents in both 2024 and 2025, compared to the national figure of around 89 to 92.
Crime actually dropped between 2024 and 2025, falling from 64.8 to 60.3 per 1,000 residents. It's a modest improvement, but it's heading in the right direction. To put this in perspective, neighbouring Ashley recorded rates nearly three times higher.
Anti-social behaviour and drug-related offences are both lower than the national average here. Vehicle crime does run above the UK average, so that's something to be aware of. Overall though, Redland is one of the calmer neighbourhoods in Bristol.
