Recent trend

The dataset covers only a 60-day window in late 2024, so year-over-year comparisons are not applicable. The 1,733 incidents recorded during this period reflect the total reported activity for these two months, with no prior-year data available for comparison. Without additional historical context, it is not possible to determine whether this represents an increase, decrease, or typical level of activity for Thunder Bay.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

Thunder Bay’s late-2024 data shows a heavy concentration of incidents in the "Other" category, which includes a wide range of offences not classified elsewhere. Assault and theft are also prominent, together making up over a third of all reports. The absence of neighbourhood-level data limits deeper geographic analysis, but the high proportion of "Other" incidents suggests a diverse mix of criminal activity. With only a 60-day window, these figures reflect a short-term snapshot rather than long-term trends.
