Living in Bristol: is it a nice area?

What the official deprivation statistics say about quality of life here, relative to the rest of England.

On the official English Indices of Deprivation, the 259 neighbourhoods that make up Bristol average 5.3 out of 10 (1 = most deprived in England, 10 = least) — around the middle of the English range. 47% of its neighbourhoods sit in the least-deprived half of the country, while 24% are in the most-deprived fifth. On the index's crime domain it averages 4.3/10, pointing to higher recorded-crime pressure relative to England as a whole. Averages hide street-level variation — the map below shows how each neighbourhood differs.
