What these numbers mean

Auto theft in Wingham accounted for a small portion of the town's reported incidents in 2018, with only 2 cases recorded. This places it as the fourth most common category, well behind 'Other' incidents but slightly ahead of 'Break and enter.' The limited data window and low count make it difficult to draw broader conclusions about trends or patterns. The numbers suggest that while auto theft does occur, it is not a dominant concern in Wingham's crime profile for this period.

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: 2018-05-17 to 2018-07-16.
