About this data

East Gwillimbury's 2026 (YTD, through Jul) open-data profile draws on reported incidents from York Regional Police's public layer, part of the larger York Region group of municipal pages. The headline total for the selected period is 723 records, with breakdowns by offence category and neighbourhood below. These figures represent the calendar-year view from the full archive, not the interactive map's shorter 60-day rolling window, which currently holds 213 incidents.

A year-to-date frame is useful because it shows the mix of incident types in the current year before the full annual file is final. Because the period ends in July, 723 should not be treated as a full-year total. Instead, it offers a mid-2026 snapshot of which categories and areas have the most reported activity in the York Regional Police open-data feed.

Recent trend

Within the full archive, East Gwillimbury saw 1,117 reported incidents in 2021 and 1,108 in 2022. Counts then rose to 1,484 in 2023 and 1,552 in 2024, before easing 10.4% to 1,391 in 2025. That decline compares two complete calendar years (2024 and 2025). The archive's combined total across 2021-2026 is 7,407 records. The 723 incidents listed for 2026 are year-to-date through July, so they are not a full annual figure and cannot be compared directly to the completed years.

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 Threats (23.3% of Other, 455 records). These are open-data rows, not a separate "mystery crime" class.
  • Data window: 2026 (YTD, through Jul).
