Toronto · 158 neighbourhoods · 2016–2025 incident counts

Ten years of Toronto crime, by the numbers.

Community Safety Indicators — raw incident counts, with population-normalised rates one toggle away so every neighbourhood can be measured the same way. No rankings, no "safe" or "dangerous" labels. Just the numbers, the trends, and the caveats behind them.

Five indicators, one scale

Each category carries a fixed glyph as well as a colour, so the encoding survives colour-vision deficiency and greyscale print. Tap a card to make it the dashboard's primary lens.

Reading the data

Three numbers that need context

!
Auto theft fell 26% in 2025 after peaking in 2023. One of the steepest single-year moves in the dataset.
×
Sexual assault is excluded from these five indicators and is reported separately by Toronto Police.
i
Counts by default, rates one toggle away. Raw counts are the unfiltered record; population-normalised rates keep dense and sparse neighbourhoods comparable when you switch. City-wide rates use annual StatCan estimates; per-neighbourhood rates use the 2021 Census (25% sample).
