COVID-19 has had a devastating effect on the culture and
creative sector; along with hospitality and leisure, the majority
of the creative economy is predicated on performance and
production live and in-person experiences with museums,
theatres, festivals and events, film and TV production all ceasing
activity and closing their doors in mid-march 2020. Some
venues have only been able to reopen from Summer 2021 and
with reduced capacity so have lost a significant proportion of
their projected income.
Despite this huge impact, Bristol has used its creative talent to
adapt wherever possible. Museums responded with more online
content and programming to engage with their audiences, new
artwork has appeared around the city, film productions resumed
safely filming across many of our famous sites and city streets in
the last year.

Bristol has created one of the most vibrant and successful economies
in the UK. Nationally, among the Core Cities, Bristol has experienced
sustained growth in both population and economic scale and has the
highest productivity levels per capita, employment and qualification
rates of the major cities. Within the West of England, Bristol is the
primary economic centre. Prior to Covid nearly half of all the jobs
(44.8%) and enterprises (40.1%) were located in Bristol.
The economic impact of Covid-19 has been an unprecedented shock
for Bristol, as for all cities around the world. While the diverse and
high skilled economy of the city has provided protection for some
of our key industries and employment, there has been significant
impact on key sectors e.g. hospitality, retail and leisure. However, we
anticipate that relaxation of covid restrictions and reopening will
support these sectors to recover. Tracking the ongoing impact of covid
on the city’s economy and its residents continues to be a priority.

Affordability ratio: ONS Ratio of house price to residence-based earnings. By dividing the house price for a given
area by its earnings, a ratio is produced which serves as an indicator of relative affordability. A higher ratio indicates
that on average, it is less affordable for a resident to purchase a house in their local authority district. While there
are many more factors that influence affordability, the simple ratio provides an overview of geographic differences
across England and Wales. Housing affordability in England and Wales - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk)
