What these numbers mean

Downtown Brampton's incident count is modest compared to nearby areas like Madoc (50) and Norton Park (45). Assault and auto theft are prominent, contrasting with the city's broader mix. The low overall count suggests a relatively quiet period, though the concentration of assaults stands out. The data does not indicate a single dominant issue, but the presence of auto theft aligns with broader trends in Brampton.

About this dataset

Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see crime rates per 100,000 for population-adjusted figures.
Neighbourhood boundaries: Defined by the upstream open-data source and may shift year-to-year, so direct comparisons over time can be affected by boundary changes.
Small counts are volatile: A neighbourhood with single-digit incidents one period and zero the next is not necessarily safer; it’s the sampling noise of small numbers.
Data window: 2026-04-04 to 2026-06-03.
