What these numbers mean

Riversdale's incident profile is notable for the high count of 'Other' incidents, which is unusual compared to nearby neighbourhoods like the Central Business District and Pleasant Hill. The neighbourhood's mix of categories diverges from the city total, with a lower proportion of violent incidents. The short data window makes it difficult to draw broader conclusions, but the concentration of 'Other' incidents stands out.

About this dataset

Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see crime rates per 100,000 for population-adjusted figures.
Neighbourhood boundaries: Defined by the upstream open-data source and may shift year-to-year, so direct comparisons over time can be affected by boundary changes.
Small counts are volatile: A neighbourhood with single-digit incidents one period and zero the next is not necessarily safer; it’s the sampling noise of small numbers.
Data window: 2026-04-03 to 2026-06-02.
