Best areas in Bristol for families

Ranked on schools, green space and safety, the three things families weigh hardest. School scores are indicative: always check catchments and admissions for the exact address.

Ranked from Boroughly's Bristol dataset of 53 areas. Prices are postcode-district medians of HM Land Registry recorded sales; safety is a relative rank of police.uk recorded crime; rents and other scores are indicative - see how we source data. Use this to build a shortlist, not to make the final call.

Rank it around your own life instead

This list weights the criteria one particular way. Yours will be different - a 40-minute cap on the school run, a must-have mosque, a hard budget ceiling. The map lets you set those and re-rank all 53 Bristol areas against them.
