Richmond Hill crime 2026

This count accounts for 10.6% of the 41,972 total incidents logged in the city archive across all recorded years from 2021 to 2026.

Because 2026 remains an active, partial reporting year, the current 4,443 count reflects a partial window compared to 8,003 incidents in 2025. Direct percentage comparisons are omitted for incomplete calendar years, and annual figures reflect police reporting activity rather than per-capita risk.

Year-over-year

Richmond Hill's 2026 dataset currently stands at 4,443 reported incidents, ranking 6th among the 6 years in the municipal archive. The prior year, 2025, recorded 8,003 incidents, while 2024 recorded 8,208 and 2023 reached 8,443 incidents. Earlier recorded totals include 7,005 incidents in 2022 and 5,870 in 2021. Because 2026 data is still in progress, raw incident counts from this partial window cannot be converted into an annual percentage change against 2025. Changes in annual figures reflect public reporting and record compilation by York Regional Police rather than changes in per-capita risk.
