Crime in AREA2

In the April 20 to June 19, 2026 reporting window, AREA2 recorded 194 police-reported incidents. This neighbourhood accounted for 19.7 per cent of Peterborough’s citywide total of 983 incidents during the same period.

The dataset spans a two-month window in the spring of 2026, capturing reported activity across the AREA2 boundary. Neighbourhood boundaries are approximate and based on the upstream open-data portal's classification, meaning two adjacent areas may overlap. The figures reflect a short observation window rather than a full annual cycle, and the 194 incidents include 25 violent offences alongside property and other categories.

Data coverage

The reported incidents fall within a continuous two-month period from April 20 to June 19, 2026. Because the dataset covers a partial annual window, comparisons to full-year totals should account for seasonal variation. Boundary definitions may vary year to year, so historical counts for AREA2 are not directly comparable to earlier periods. The 194 incidents reflect activity strictly within the current AREA2 classification, and readers should treat these figures as a snapshot of a specific timeframe.

Category breakdown

Theft leads the AREA2 incident profile with 94 reported cases during the April to June 2026 window. Assault follows with 25 incidents, while fraud accounts for 24 reported cases. These three categories represent the highest volumes within the neighbourhood. Break and enter recorded 10 incidents, and mischief accounted for 17. The remaining 22 incidents fall under the other category. All counts reflect exact incident tallies for this two-month reporting period.
