About this data

This map displays 2,009 crime incidents recorded across Calgary, Alberta during November 2024. The data originates from Calgary Police Service's open crime statistics portal, which publishes community-level crime aggregates through publicly accessible Excel workbooks. Users can explore where incidents cluster across the city's communities.

The interactive choropleth and incident layers help residents, researchers, and community organizations visualize reported crime patterns by neighbourhood. Because the underlying open data may lag behind official police totals, this site also surfaces Calgary Police Service's published quarterly aggregates for comparison. For Q4 2025, CPS reported 5,281 total crime incidents across community crime categories — a broader and more recent snapshot than the map's November 2024 window.

Recent trend

The map data covers a single year — 2024 — with 2,009 dated incidents recorded in November. Because the year_series contains only one annual entry, no year-over-year comparison is available from the map feed. However, Calgary Police Service's official quarterly aggregates provide broader temporal context: Q4 2025 shows 5,281 total crime incidents across all CPS community crime categories. Within that quarterly total, theft from vehicle accounted for 1,586 incidents and auto theft for 945, suggesting vehicle-related property crime remains a persistent category across reporting periods. The map's November 2024 snapshot and the official Q4 2025 figures are not directly comparable due to different time windows and category definitions, but both point to property crime as a dominant share of Calgary's reported incidents.

Category breakdown

Breakdown of Calgary's 2,009 November 2024 incidents shows Break and enter leading with 563 incidents (28%), followed by Assault at 503 (25%), and Theft from vehicle at 498 (24.8%). Auto theft accounts for 348 incidents (17.3%), while Robbery makes up 97 incidents (4.8%). The top three categories are closely clustered — each within roughly 65 incidents of one another — meaning no single crime type dominates Calgary's reported-incident profile. The violent-category total for this period is 600 incidents. Calgary Police Service's Q4 2025 official data shows a different category mix, with Theft FROM Vehicle at 1,586 and Assault (Non-domestic) at 945, reflecting both a longer time window and distinct CPS category definitions.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

Calgary's November 2024 data shows an unusually even distribution across its top three categories — Break and enter (563), Assault (503), and Theft from vehicle (498) — each within 65 incidents of the others. This balance between property and violent crime stands out; many cities see one category clearly dominate. The 600 violent-category incidents represent a substantial share of the 2,009 total. CPS's Q4 2025 official figures, while not directly comparable, confirm theft from vehicle as a persistent leading category at 1,586 incidents across the quarter.

Calgary's open-data map recorded 2,009 incidents in 2024 across the five categories tracked on this site. Of those, 600 were classified as violent-category incidents. The dataset includes only 2024 records, so no prior-year comparison is available from the map feed.

What type of incident is most common in Calgary?

Is crime increasing or decreasing in Calgary?

The 2024 map dataset contains 2,009 incidents but covers only one year, so no year-over-year trend can be calculated from this feed. Calgary Police Service's official community crime Excel reports, which extend through Q4 2025, provide a longer comparison window for those seeking trend analysis.

Which Calgary communities have the most reported incidents?

The current Calgary map dataset does not include neighbourhood-level breakdowns. Calgary Police Service's Community Crime Excel reports do publish community-level aggregates, and the latest Q4 2025 release covers 5,281 total incidents across CPS community crime categories, but those figures are not mapped on this page.

Where does Calgary's incident data come from?

The map data on this site comes from Calgary's open ArcGIS choropleth feed. Separately, Calgary Police Service publishes official community crime aggregates in Excel workbooks through their transparency portal, with the latest Q4 2025 release reporting 5,281 total incidents.

How current is Calgary's crime data?

The map data on this site covers 2024 only. For a more recent picture, Calgary Police Service's Q4 2025 Community Crime Excel reports show 5,281 total incidents, including 1,586 thefts from vehicles and 945 auto thefts. The open ArcGIS choropleth feed may lag behind these official figures.
