About this data

The 2019 Aylmer crime-data page summarises all incidents recorded in the municipality’s official police open-data portal for Ontario. The figures represent the complete calendar year, with 224 reported incidents captured in the full archive. These totals are drawn from the open-data feed supplied by the provincial police service, rather than from the rolling 60-day map window.

Presenting the yearly totals helps residents and planners see the overall volume and composition of crime across the entire year, offering a broader context than the short-term snapshot shown on the interactive map, which currently displays 157 incidents from the most recent 60 days. The year-long view enables comparison with other jurisdictions and supports evidence-based decision-making.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change cannot be shown for the 2019 period because the archive provides only a single year of comparable totals. With no earlier complete-year count to contrast, the dataset does not calculate a YoY percentage. The open-data feed aggregates incidents for the full calendar year, and because the archive does not include a prior year with the same reporting scope, any year-to-year comparison would be misleading. Consequently, readers should treat the 2019 figures as a standalone snapshot rather than a trend relative to previous years.

Category breakdown

In 2019 the overwhelming majority of incidents fell into the 'Other' category, accounting for 203 reports or 90.6% of all 224 recorded events. Within this broad grouping, the leading sub-category was Traffic & MVC, with 81 incidents – that is 39.9% of the Other total and 36.2% of the city’s overall count. Property-related offences appear lower in the ranking: Theft contributed nine incidents (4% of the total) and Mischief added six incidents (2.7%). Assaults, the only violent category recorded, comprised four incidents, representing 1.8% of the year's reports. Break and enter accounted for two incidents (0.9%). Bylaw and provincial violations contributed 50 incidents, representing 22.3% of the total and 24.6% of the Other category.

What these numbers mean

Almost all reported activity in Aylmer for 2019 falls under the catch-all 'Other' category, with 203 incidents (90.6% of the total). Traffic collisions and motor-vehicle collisions alone make up 81 of those incidents, accounting for 36.2% of the year’s reports. Property-related offences such as theft (9 incidents) and mischief (6) are a small fraction, while violent offences are very rare – only four assaults were recorded, representing just 1.8% of all incidents. The map’s recent 60-day window shows 157 incidents, underscoring how the full-year picture is considerably larger.

About this dataset

  • Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
  • Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see the Crime Severity Index for severity-weighted, population-adjusted rankings.
  • Privacy: Coordinates on the map are rounded to roughly 111 m so individual addresses cannot be inferred.
  • What "Other" includes: The parent Other category is split on the map into Traffic & MVC, Drugs, Weapons offences, Bylaw & Provincial, Calls for service, and Other crime. In this dataset the largest Other slice is Traffic & MVC (39.9% of Other, 81 records). These are open-data rows, not a separate "mystery crime" class.
  • Data window: 2019.

What is the most common type of incident in Aylmer in 2019 and what does the “Other” category contain?

The Other group also includes person offences such as threats and harassment, which are not physical assaults.

How did the number of incidents in Aylmer change compared to the previous year?

Year‑over‑year change is not available for the 2019 period because the dataset does not contain a comparable prior‑year total; only the single‑year count of 224 incidents is provided. Consequently, no percentage change can be reported.

Why aren’t neighbourhood‑level crime statistics shown for Aylmer?

The 2019 open‑data feed for Aylmer does not include a breakdown by neighbourhood, so neighbourhood‑specific incident counts are unavailable for this city and year. The source dataset aggregates all incidents at the city level, and no neighbourhood identifiers were provided.

Which police agency provides the data used for Aylmer’s crime map?

The figures come from the Ontario official police open‑data portal, which publishes municipal incident data released by the province’s law‑enforcement agencies. These open‑data files are the primary source for the CrimeMaps.ca visualisations.

How recent is the incident data displayed for Aylmer?

The dataset reflects incidents recorded between July 11 2019 and October 8 2019, representing the complete calendar year 2019. The interactive map, however, shows a rolling 60‑day window that currently displays 157 incidents, a subset of the full‑year total.
