About this data

West End is a vibrant neighbourhood in Vancouver, British Columbia, reporting 1,758 incidents in the latest data set. This count represents 8.7% of Vancouver’s total of 20,283 recorded incidents. The data covers incidents logged in August 2026, using a synthetic date range to align with the city‑wide reporting window.

These figures are based on the neighbourhood count scaled to the city’s year‑to‑date totals through July, providing a snapshot of recent activity for residents and analysts. The neighbourhood’s boundaries follow the open‑data portal’s classification, which may be updated periodically. Residents can use this information to understand local safety trends and to engage with community resources.

Recent trend

The dataset reflects incidents recorded in August 2026, a synthetic single‑month window that aligns with the city’s latest exact occurrence day. Because the underlying open‑data portal updates neighbourhood boundaries periodically, comparisons across years should consider possible boundary changes. The count is scaled to the city’s year‑to‑date totals through July, so the figures provide a recent snapshot rather than a full annual picture. Consequently, trends should be interpreted with the awareness that the data covers only a month of activity and may not capture longer‑term patterns.
