Best areas to live in Bristol

An all-round ranking of the 53 Bristol areas Boroughly covers: safety, schools, transport and green space, with a nudge for value. If one criterion matters more to you than the rest, the map lets you re-weight it.

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.
