Chart 3
Police-reported crime, urban and rural areas and northern and southern regions, by province, 2024
...
not applicable
Note(s):
Includes Criminal Code offences, excluding traffic violations. The northern region comprises Labrador and the northern parts of Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, according to the definition agreed on by the Northern Development Ministers Forum and used by the Conference Board of Canada's Centre for the North. These northern boundaries generally reflect provincial administrative regions. Urban police services serve an area where the majority of the population lives within a census metropolitan area (CMA) or census agglomeration (CA). Rural police services serve an area where the majority of the population lives outside a CMA or CA. A CMA or a CA comprises one or more adjacent municipalities centred on a population centre (known as the core). A CMA must have a total population of at least 100,000, of which 50,000 or more must live in the core. A CA must have a core population of at least 10,000. To be included in the CMA or CA, adjacent municipalities must be highly integrated with the core, as measured by commuting flows derived from census data. A CMA or CA may be served by more than one police service. Rates are calculated per 100,000 population, and population counts are based on July 1 estimates from Statistics Canada's Centre for Demography. Excludes data from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's Canadian Police Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, the British Columbia Integrated Child Exploitation Unit and the Canadian Forces Military Police Group.
