What these numbers mean

The West End's incident profile is notable for its high proportion of theft and mischief, which together account for over two-thirds of the neighbourhood's total. This contrasts with nearby areas like the Central Business District, which had a much higher total count (524 incidents) but a different mix of categories. The West End's relatively low violent crime count (7 incidents) stands out compared to its property-related incidents.

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: 2026-04-02 to 2026-06-01.
