Sexual assault in Markham

This page covers reported sexual assault incidents in Markham, Ontario, using the city's full open-data archive rather than the 60-day map window. The selected period is 2026 year-to-date through July. In that window, the sexual assault category contains 54 reported incidents. Across all 12 published categories, Markham's city-wide total is 5,889 incidents; sexual assault accounts for 0.9% of that total. Sexual assault ranks 10th among the 12 categories for this period.
