Keynsham is a safe area by any ordinary measure. Just under two thousand crimes were recorded across the town over the last year. That works out at about 87 offences for every thousand residents. The wider council area runs at much the same rate. This is a town that lands square on the regional average and does nothing startling in either direction.
The full-year figure covers the twelve months to March 2026, and the shape of it is reassurance rather than alarm. At roughly 87 recorded crimes per thousand people, Keynsham sits fractionally below the Bath and North East Somerset rate of around 88, which is close enough to call level. Both numbers come from the published local counts, and it is worth saying that the rate is not something you can sanity-check by dividing the crime total by the resident population on this page. The two figures are built on different statistical areas, so the arithmetic will not tie out and is not meant to. What the numbers do tell you, plainly, is that a town of this size records the sort of volume you would expect from a settled place on the edge of a city, and no more. There are no street-level horror stories buried in the average, and nobody should pretend to read one into it. A single town-wide figure tells you the whole is unremarkable, not which corner is quietest, and unremarkable is the best thing a crime statistic can be.
Keynsham is as safe as the county around it, which is to say safe enough that crime is not the reason anyone talks themselves out of moving here. Average is the honest verdict, and average, in this case, is a compliment.
