About this data

This map displays 1,743 reported incidents in Woodstock, Ontario, over a 60-day period from April 15 to June 14, 2019. The data is sourced from the Woodstock Police Service’s public portal, providing a snapshot of criminal activity during this window. While the dataset does not include population figures or per-capita rates, it offers a detailed look at the types and distribution of incidents across the city.

Residents, researchers, and policymakers can use this information to identify patterns, such as high-incident areas or prevalent crime categories. Understanding these trends helps inform community safety discussions and resource allocation, though it’s important to note that reported incidents represent only a portion of total criminal activity.

Recent trend

The dataset covers only a 60-day window in 2019, with 1,743 incidents recorded during this period. Without multi-year data, year-over-year comparisons are not possible. However, the concentration of incidents within this short span highlights the volume of activity reported to Woodstock Police during spring 2019. Future updates with additional years could reveal whether this period was typical or an outlier.

Category breakdown

The majority of incidents fall under the "Other" category, which includes a broad range of offences not classified elsewhere. This group accounts for 1,481 reports, or 85% of the total. Theft is the second most common category, with 160 incidents (9.2%), followed by break and enter at 30 incidents (1.7%). Together, these top three categories make up 96% of all reported activity during the 60-day window.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

Woodstock’s 60-day snapshot is dominated by a single broad category: 1,481 "Other" incidents dwarf all other types combined. Theft, while the second-most frequent, accounts for less than a tenth of the total. The low violent-category count stands out: 32 violent incidents in total, including 28 assaults. This dataset’s narrow timeframe and heavy reliance on a catch-all category limit deeper trend analysis, but the volume of reports suggests robust incident documentation during this period.
