What these numbers mean

'Other' incidents dominate Vancouver's crime reports for this period, accounting for more than a third of all cases. The Central Business District alone accounts for over a quarter of these incidents, far exceeding counts in other neighbourhoods. While the dataset covers only a two-month window, the sheer volume—586 incidents—highlights how broadly this category applies. Compared to theft (522 incidents), the next most frequent category, 'Other' is both the largest single group and a reminder of how diverse unreported or less-specific incidents can be.

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