About this data

This page summarizes reported crime in Vaughan, Ontario for the Latest day (2026-10-10), the city's latest occurrence day of October 10, 2026. York Regional Police open data records 7 incidents for that day, split across 12 neighbourhood areas in the Vaughan municipal feed. Vaughan figures are drawn from the wider York Region open layer and shown here as a municipality-specific view alongside Markham, Richmond Hill and other neighbours.

For residents and researchers, the day-level view shows where reports were logged most recently without mixing in year-to-date or longer trends. Police may still add reports for October 10, 2026, so the count of 7 can rise. For context, the interactive map shows a separate rolling 60 days window with 1,742 incidents, which is broader than this single-day headline.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for this Latest day (2026-10-10) total, because the headline count of 7 covers a single occurrence day rather than a complete calendar year. Annual comparisons require full-year records, so a one-day figure cannot be set against a prior year. As separate full-archive calendar context, complete years 2024 to 2025 moved from 15,464 to 14,793 incidents, a change of -4.3%, which does not describe the Latest day headline or the rolling 60 days map window. The 2026 archive figure of 10,100 remains incomplete and is not an annual total.

Category breakdown

On October 10, 2026, Vaughan's 7 incidents were led by Other with 2 incidents at 28.6%, tied with Theft with 2 incidents at 28.6%, followed by Assault with 1 incident at 14.3%. The remaining day-level records were Auto theft with 1 incident at 14.3% and Break and enter with 1 incident at 14.3%. Because Other groups many open-data types, its full-archive detail helps explain the label: Threats accounts for 3,992 records, or 25.5% of Other, while Harassment, Drugs and Impaired & dangerous driving also sit under Other. Threats and harassment are person offences in the open-data feed, not physical assault, and are distinct from the separately counted Assault figure.

Where incidents concentrate

South of Maple recorded 3 incidents on the Latest day, the highest neighbourhood count in Vaughan for October 10, 2026. Around Maple, Maple, Woodbridge North and Woodbridge West each recorded 1 incident, completing the five listed areas from a set of 12 neighbourhood areas. This spread shows Maple-area reports accounting for the day's mapped records, with South of Maple ahead of the other four. These figures reflect where incidents were located on that day, showing activity concentration rather than per-capita risk, since no population data are used to adjust the counts.

What this means

Vaughan's Latest day is unusually small at 7 incidents, so a single report shifts the mix: Other and Theft tie at 2 incidents each, while Assault, Auto theft and Break and enter each add 1. South of Maple's 3 reports stand out against four areas with 1 each. Readers should not read Other as leftover files — in the full archive, Threats holds 3,992 records at 25.5% of Other, with Harassment next at 2,934, both tracked as person offences separate from Assault.

FAQ

How many incidents were reported in Vaughan on October 10, 2026?
Vaughan had 7 incidents reported on October 10, 2026, which is the city's latest reporting day in this feed. The 7 records represent that calendar day only, not a 60-day window and not a year-to-date total. Police may still add late reports for October 10, so the day's count can rise after publication. The day's mix was Other with 2 records and Theft with 2 records.

What types of crime were most common that day, and what does Other include?
On October 10, Other and Theft were tied as the most reported categories in Vaughan, with 2 records each at 28.6% of the day's 7 incidents. Other is a rollup the source uses for many types. In the full-archive breakdown, the leading slices are Threats with 3,992 records, 25.5% of Other, and Harassment with 2,934 records, 18.8% of Other. Those Threats and Harassment records are person offences, not physical assault.

How have Vaughan incident counts changed in recent years?
Year-over-year change is not available for the October 10 selected day itself. For calendar-year context, the full-archive series shows 14,793 incidents in 2025 compared with 15,464 in 2024, a change of -4.3% across two complete years. The archive peaks at 16,549 in 2023, then records 15,464 in 2024. The 2026 count of 9,968 is incomplete through October 10 and should not be compared as a full year.

Which Vaughan neighbourhoods had the most incidents on the latest day?

With only 7 incidents on one reporting day, a difference of one or two reports changes the order, so daily neighbourhood counts should be read with caution.

Where does this Vaughan crime data come from?
These Vaughan figures come from York Regional Police open data, with Vaughan records split from the wider York Region feed that also covers Markham and Richmond Hill. The categories, neighbourhood names and day-level dates reflect how York Regional Police publishes the file, not CrimeMaps estimates. The full on-disk archive for Vaughan holds 82,669 incidents from 2021 to 2026, while the headline discusses the latest day only.

How current is the Vaughan data shown here?
The most recent occurrence date in this Vaughan update is October 10, 2026, shown as the Latest day (2026-10-10) with 7 incidents.
