Note: Crime rates are based upon Criminal Code incidents, excluding traffic offences. See Table 1 for a list of offences included in the violent crime, property crime and other Criminal Code offences categories. Counts are based upon the most serious violation in the incident. One incident may involve multiple violations. Data for the rates of total, violent, property and other crime categories are available beginning in 1962. Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 population. Percent changes are based on unrounded rates. Populations are based upon July 1st estimates from Statistics Canada, Demography Division.
