Key stats

What these numbers mean

Vancouver's 2026 data shows a significant portion of incidents fall under the 'Other' category, which may include a variety of offences not captured by more specific labels. Theft and mischief together make up nearly half of all reported incidents, indicating a strong focus on property-related offences. With only one year of data available, it's too early to identify trends, but the high count of 'Other' incidents suggests a need for more detailed categorization in future reports.
