Yes, to the point of being dull about it. The recorded crime rate here sits well under the rate for the wider authority. The whole village logs fewer incidents in a year than a single Bath street would manage in a busy month. There is not much here to steal and nowhere much to steal it from. If you are hunting for a reason not to move to Timsbury, keep looking, because it is not this one.
Over the twelve months to May 2026, police.uk records 141 crimes in the area, which works out at a published rate of about 54 per thousand residents. That sits roughly 41% below the Bath and North East Somerset average. Both of those are published figures rather than anything worked out on the back of an envelope, and the rate uses a different population base from the resident count, so dividing one by the other at home will not reproduce it.
The comparison is worth seeing in full. The authority as a whole records about 90 crimes per thousand residents across the same period, against Timsbury's 54. Bath does most of the lifting in that authority figure: a small city with a large student population, a night-time economy and several million visitors a year generates a volume of recorded crime that a plateau village eight miles out simply cannot compete with, even if it wanted to.
The texture behind those numbers is what you would expect. Population density averages around 1,760 people per square kilometre across the two neighbourhood areas that make up the village, which is village-scale rather than town-scale. Unemployment runs at about 2%. Overcrowded households account for roughly 2%. None of those figures causes anything on its own, but together they describe a settled, low-churn, low-pressure sort of place, and settled low-churn places tend not to produce much of a crime blotter.
On the mix, a caution first: with 141 incidents spread across 12 categories in a year, a handful of reports moves any share by several points, so none of this should be read as a fixed characteristic of the village. With that said, violence and sexual offences account for around 50% of what was recorded, against about 35% nationally. That category is a broad statutory grouping that includes common assault without injury, and it is the largest category almost everywhere in England and Wales, so the headline is less dramatic than it reads. Shoplifting comes in at about 15% against roughly 8% nationally, which at these volumes is a very small number of incidents. Anti-social behaviour sits at around 10% against about 16% nationally, and criminal damage and arson at roughly 9% against about 7%, both close enough to the national picture to be unremarkable. Vehicle crime and public order each account for about 4%, below the national shares of 5% and 7%.
What happens after a report is a separate question, and one the crime rate does not answer. Avon and Somerset Constabulary charges a suspect in about 11% of cases, against roughly 12% nationally, which puts the force 24th out of the 42 forces in England and Wales over the twelve months to May 2026. Around 30% of cases are closed with no suspect identified. Those are force-wide decisions made across a patch that stretches from Bristol to the Mendips, and they carry no signal about this village specifically. They are the honest answer to "will they catch them", and the honest answer is usually no, which is true almost everywhere and worth knowing before you assume otherwise.
Safety is the strongest thing Timsbury has going for it after the countryside. The recorded numbers are low, they are well under the wider authority, and nothing in the mix contradicts the impression a walk through the village gives you.
