Ten years of Toronto crime, by the numbers.

Community Safety Indicators, normalised to population so every neighbourhood is measured the same way. No rankings, no "safe" or "dangerous" labels. Just the rates, the trends, and the caveats behind them.

i
Rates, not counts, by default. Population-normalised figures keep dense and sparse neighbourhoods comparable. City-wide rates use annual StatCan estimates; per-neighbourhood rates use the 2021 Census (25% sample).
