This map shows 900 police-reported incidents in Nanaimo, British Columbia, spanning January 20 to March 21, 2021. The data comes from the Nanaimo RCMP's public crime mapping portal, which publishes occurrence-level records as they become available. Users can explore where different incident types were reported across the city and how they cluster by area.
Because the portal updates on a rolling basis, the 60-day window reflects the most recent complete records at the time of extraction rather than a fixed calendar period. This makes the tool useful for spotting emerging spatial patterns and comparing recent category distributions, though it does not represent a full annual snapshot.
The dataset covers only 2021, with 900 dated incidents recorded from January through March. Because all records fall within a single partial year and no prior-year data is available in this window, no year-over-year comparison is possible. The year_series shows a single entry: 2021 at 900 incidents. Without additional years in the series, trend direction—whether rising, falling, or flat—cannot be assessed from this extract alone.
Mischief dominates Nanaimo's incident profile, accounting for 407 records or 45.2% of the total. Theft ranks second at 232 incidents (25.8%), followed by theft from vehicle at 177 incidents (19.7%). Together, these three categories make up 816 of the 900 reported incidents. Break and enter (65 incidents, 7.2%) and auto theft (19 incidents, 2.1%) appear far less frequently. The heavy concentration in mischief and theft suggests a property-focused incident profile during this early-2021 window.
Mischief alone accounts for 407 of Nanaimo's 900 incidents—nearly half the total—while theft and theft from vehicle together add another 409. That leaves break and enter and auto theft as relatively minor shares at 7.2% and 2.1% respectively. With no violent incidents recorded in this window and property categories commanding almost the entire dataset, the standout feature is how heavily skewed the mix is toward mischief and theft rather than a more balanced spread across crime types.
The dataset contains 900 reported incidents spanning from January 20, 2021 to March 21, 2021. All 900 records include usable occurrence dates, with no undated entries in this window.
