When interpreting these figures, readers should note that open-data reporting structures and neighbourhood boundary definitions set by municipal data portals may vary from year to year. Consequently, incident figures from single partial-year windows should not be directly compared against full prior years or alternate boundary classifications without accounting for changes in reporting methodology.
