About this data
This page covers reported crime in Hamilton, Ontario for the Latest day (2026-10-23), the city's latest exact occurrence day of October 23, 2026. The headline total is 3 incidents for that single day, not a year-to-date total and not a rolling average. All 3 incidents that day were listed as Auto theft, which gives this daily snapshot a very narrow category mix.
Figures are drawn from the official police / municipal open-data portal for Ontario and republished here to make the daily count browsable alongside maps and categories. For context, the interactive map uses a separate 60 days window with 442 incidents, while the on-disk archive holds 1,617 records for 2026. Police may still add reports for October 23, 2026, so the daily count of 3 can rise as late files are added.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-23) because the year series contains only a single year, 2026 with 1,472 dated records, so there is no complete-year pair to compare. The daily headline of 3 incidents on October 23, 2026 stands on its own and should not be read as an annual trend. The full archive also lists 1,617 records for 2026, reflecting the on-disk total rather than the dated series used for year comparisons. A meaningful annual comparison will only be possible once a second complete calendar year is published in this feed.
Category breakdown
The Latest day (2026-10-23) breakdown contains a single reported category: Auto theft with 3 incidents, accounting for 100% of the day's total of 3. With no other categories listed for October 23, 2026, the daily mix is entirely vehicle-related rather than spread across multiple offence types. This does not describe the broader 60 days map window, which holds 442 incidents, nor the dated 2026 series with 1,472 records. It reflects only what was assigned to the city's latest exact occurrence day. Single-category days with very small totals can look uniform by nature, and late reporting could still add other categories for this date.
What this means
What stands out for Hamilton on this date is how small and uniform the count is: 3 incidents on October 23, 2026, all recorded as Auto theft at 100% of the day. That contrasts with the wider context of 442 incidents in the 60 days map window and 1,617 archive records for 2026. Readers should treat this as a thin single-day snapshot that can change if police add late reports, rather than evidence about longer-term patterns in the city.
FAQ
How many incidents were reported in Hamilton on the latest day?
Hamilton recorded 3 incidents on its latest reporting day, 2026-10-23. This headline figure reflects that single exact occurrence day, not a year-to-date total or a rolling average. Police services can still add late reports for 2026-10-23, so the count for that day can rise after publication. All 3 incidents from that day fall under one category in the open file.
What type of incident was most common on that day?
The most commonly recorded category on 2026-10-23 was auto theft, with 3 incidents accounting for 100% of that day's file. No other categories were listed for Hamilton on that latest day. That mix is specific to the 3-incident day and does not describe the broader 2026 file, which contains 1,472 dated incidents across the year to date.
Are incidents in Hamilton trending up or down compared to last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period in Hamilton. The open file provides a 2026 series with 1,472 dated incidents, while the full on-disk archive lists 1,617 incidents for 2026. With only 2026 published in both the year series and the archive series, there is no complete prior calendar year to support a year-over-year comparison.
Which neighbourhoods in Hamilton had the most incidents?
Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for this Hamilton source. The open feed does not publish a neighbourhood field that allows incidents to be grouped by neighbourhood or centre area, so no ranked list can be shown. This applies to both the 3 incidents on 2026-10-23 and the wider 2026 file of 1,472 dated incidents, which are presented as citywide totals only.
Where does this Hamilton incident data come from?
The figures come from the official police and municipal open-data portal for Ontario that supplies Hamilton's incident file. For this update, that portal reports 3 incidents for 2026-10-23 and 1,472 dated incidents for 2026. Coverage and category definitions follow the portal's own publishing rules, and late reports can be added after the initial release.
How current is the Hamilton data shown here?
The data is current through 2026-10-23, which is both the latest occurrence day and the maximum date in the file. That headline of 3 incidents is separate from the interactive map's rolling 60-day window, which shows 442 incidents. The 60-day map view provides recent context, while the 2026-10-23 figure describes only that latest day.
