The town’s crime figures fall into the ‘below average’ category, meaning that the crime rate is between 12.5% and 37.4% of the national average.
Neighbouring areas Stoke Gifford, Winterbourne and Severnside all fall into the ‘average’ category while Patchway has a ‘high’ rating.
At district level, South Gloucestershire is said to have an ‘average’ crime rate, compared to the ‘high’ rating of Bristol.
The only crime category for which South Gloucestershire receives an above average rating is ‘fraud and forgery’.
