Recent trend

The data cover the month of August 2026, derived from a synthetic date field that does not provide day‑level precision. As a result, the counts represent incidents reported throughout that month rather than a single‑day snapshot. Users should also note that neighbourhood boundaries are periodically updated, so comparisons across years may be affected by boundary changes and should be interpreted with that context in mind.
