During the selected 2026 year-to-date period (January through July), Toronto's open-data portal recorded 21,841 incidents, while Vaughan recorded 7,883 incidents across the same date range.

Assault is the largest single-category difference in the selected period: Toronto reported 11,471 incidents and Vaughan reported 1,042. Break and enter also stands out, with Toronto at 3,204 versus Vaughan's 281. Theft-related incidents, the top category in Vaughan's selected feed, totalled 2,890 there compared with Toronto's 5,656. Vaughan's open-data feed adds categories such as fraud (1,025) and mischief (601) that Toronto's selected feed lists as zero, so the category structure itself differs between the two cities.
Toronto's 2026 YTD total of 21,841 exceeds Vaughan's 7,883 for the same January-to-July window. The largest raw category gaps are assault, break and enter, and theft-related incidents.

Toronto's 2026 year-to-date total of 21,841 exceeds Vaughan's 7,883 on the same January-to-July basis, and assault accounts for the largest single-category gap (11,471 vs 1,042). Vaughan's top category is theft-related incidents at 2,890, compared with Toronto's 5,656. Vaughan also shows fraud (1,025) and mischief (601) in its open-data feed where Toronto's selected feed lists zero, so category totals are not directly interchangeable. These differences are visible within the same 2026 YTD window, making the raw-count gap straightforward to read.
Toronto recorded 21,841 incidents during the 2026 year-to-date period through July, while Vaughan recorded 7,883 over the same window. Assault was the category with the largest raw gap: Toronto's 11,471 incidents compared with Vaughan's 1,042. The totals are drawn from the open-data category comparison for the selected 2026 YTD period.
In the selected comparison, Toronto's feed lists 0 for fraud, mischief, and sexual assault, while Vaughan lists 1,025 fraud incidents, 601 mischief incidents, and 67 sexual-assault incidents. These zero values indicate Toronto's selected open-data feed does not include those categories in the same way, so the counts are not interchangeable without checking each city's published definitions.
For this comparison, both cities use the same selected year (2026) and the same January-to-July year-to-date window, so Toronto's 21,841 incidents and Vaughan's 7,883 incidents share a comparable period. However, cities are not required to publish identical date ranges; Toronto's published window begins in 2000, while Vaughan's begins in 2021. Always check the period label before comparing municipal datasets.
