Crime in AREA1

AREA1 recorded 244 reported incidents between April 20 and June 19, 2026. This total represents 24.8 per cent of the 983 incidents logged across Peterborough during the same window. The data captures a three-month snapshot, placing the neighbourhood’s volume above AREA2 and AREA3 but below AREA4, which logged 285 records.

These figures reflect the specific reporting period and do not account for annual fluctuations. Residents reviewing the dataset should note that the counts cover a fixed window rather than a full calendar year, which influences how the neighbourhood’s profile compares to broader municipal trends and adjacent areas.

Data coverage

The dataset covers a continuous three-month window from late April through mid-June 2026, providing a concentrated view of local reporting patterns. Because the figures span a partial year, they should not be extrapolated to estimate annual volumes or seasonal baselines. Additionally, neighbourhood boundary definitions may vary year to year depending on municipal mapping updates, so direct comparisons with historical records require caution regarding spatial alignment, classification consistency, and how adjacent areas are delineated across reporting cycles.

Category breakdown

Theft leads the neighbourhood’s profile with 99 incidents, followed by Other at 72 and Assault at 34. Mischief accounts for 21 records, while Fraud and Break and enter contribute 9 and 7 incidents respectively. These category counts reflect the specific reporting window and should not be combined to infer broader crime rates or population-level exposure. The distribution shows a heavier tilt toward property-related reporting compared to the city-wide total, where assault and theft typically share prominence across municipal datasets.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

AREA1’s 244-incident total represents a quarter of Peterborough’s municipal volume, driven primarily by theft and other reporting categories. While AREA4 logs more activity at 285 records, AREA1’s profile shows a distinct concentration in non-violent categories, with assault accounting for exactly 34 incidents. The fixed three-month window means these figures capture a specific seasonal slice rather than an annual baseline, making direct year-over-year comparisons unreliable without full-year data.
