What these numbers mean

Theft stands out as the second most reported crime in Strathroy-Caradoc, trailing only the broad 'Other' category. With 51 incidents in just three months, it surpasses break-and-enter by more than double, underscoring its prevalence. The lack of year-over-year data limits trend analysis, but the concentration of theft within a short window suggests it is a persistent issue. The absence of neighbourhood-level data means patterns within the city cannot be examined further.

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.
Category includes a range: A single category groups incidents of varying severity (e.g. "assault" spans minor altercations through serious assault). The count alone does not indicate severity.
Data window: 2019-10-04 to 2019-12-03.
