About this data

This page tracks reported crime in Markham, Ontario, for Latest day (2026-10-10), the city's latest occurrence day in York Regional Police open data. The headline total is 2 incidents recorded for 10 October 2026. Markham is published as part of the York Region regional feed, with municipality pages split from the regional open layer for local review.

The figures reflect the day's mix as last published, and York Regional Police may still add reports for 10 October 2026, so the count of 2 can rise. For context, the interactive map shows a separate 60-day rolling window with 1,292 incidents. The daily view is useful for seeing very recent activity by category and neighbourhood without mistaking it for a year-to-date or annual total.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-10) total of 2 incidents, because a single latest occurrence day cannot be compared to a full prior year. The on-disk archive provides multi-year calendar context for Markham from 2021 through 2026, with 7,367 records dated in 2026 in the year series. As full-archive calendar context only, complete years 2024 and 2025 recorded 10,250 and 10,376 incidents respectively, a change of 1.2%, separate from the Latest day (2026-10-10) headline and not the 60-day map window.

Category breakdown

Markham recorded 2 incidents on Latest day (2026-10-10). The category listed first is Other with 1 incident, 50% of the day's mix, followed by Theft from vehicle with 1 incident, 50%. The source groups many incident types under Other, so the label covers more than one offence type. For broader context, the full-archive Other breakdown is led by Threats with 2,512 records, 24.7% of Other, followed by Harassment with 1,826 records, Impaired & dangerous driving with 1,720 records and Drugs with 1,642 records. Threats and Harassment under Other are open-data person offences and are not physical assault. Police calls that are not crimes are excluded from every count.

What this means

Two incidents is a very small base for Latest day (2026-10-10), split evenly between Other at 50% and Theft from vehicle at 50%, with 1 incident in Markham Hagerman and 1 in Markham Village. Readers should not read a pattern into a single quiet day. The longer archive gives more signal: Threats accounts for 2,512 records, 24.7% of Other, with Harassment at 1,826 records close behind, showing person-related Threats and Harassment sit beside property and driving offences in Markham's open-data mix.

FAQ

Police may still add reports for that day, so the count can rise. This 2-incident figure is the latest-day headline, not a yearly total.

What was the most common type of incident in Markham on the latest day?
The latest day tied at 1 incident grouped as Other (50%) and 1 incident of Theft from vehicle (50%). For context, the full-archive breakdown of Other in Markham totals 10,174 records, led by Threats with 2,512 records and Harassment with 1,826 records. Those Threats and Harassment records are open-data person offences and are not physical assault, not unexplained residual crime.

How have reported incidents in Markham changed from year to year?
Year-over-year change is not available for the 2026-10-10 latest-day period itself. For calendar-year context, the full-archive series shows 10,376 incidents in 2025 compared with 10,250 incidents in 2024, an increase of 1.2%. The archive also lists 7,367 dated incidents for 2026 to date, but 2026 remains incomplete and is not directly comparable to a full prior year.

Which Markham neighbourhoods had the latest reported incidents?
The 2 incidents on 2026-10-10 were split with 1 in Markham Hagerman and 1 in Markham Village. The source divides Markham into 14 neighbourhood areas, so the latest file covers activity across that 14-area set. With only 2 records, this split reflects a single-day snapshot rather than a longer neighbourhood pattern.

Where does Markham's incident data come from?
The figures come from York Regional Police open data, with Markham records split from the York Region regional feed. York Region also supplies separate municipality pages for neighbours such as Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Newmarket. Counts reflect what was published in that police open layer, not unofficial reports, and neighbourhood names follow the 14-area file used for Markham.

How up to date is the Markham data shown here?
The headline reflects the latest exact occurrence day of 2026-10-10, the maximum date in the current Markham file with 2 incidents. Police may still add reports for that day, so the count can rise after posting. Separately, the interactive map uses a rolling 60-day window with 1,292 incidents, which is larger because it covers many days rather than the single latest day.
