Key stats

What these numbers mean

Victoria's 2026 data is notable for the dominance of the 'Other' category, which accounts for over 60% of all incidents. This high proportion suggests a significant number of reported crimes fall outside the more commonly tracked categories like theft or assault. The relatively low counts for violent crimes such as assault (71 incidents) and property crimes like break-and-enter (61 incidents) indicate that the city's reported crime landscape is heavily influenced by less severe or less clearly defined incidents. As the only year of data available, 2026 serves as a critical baseline for future comparisons.
