Theft follows with 29 incidents, while mischief and break‑and‑enter represent 19 and 4 incidents respectively. Violent offences total only two incidents, both classified as assault.

About this data

Espanola's 2015 crime open-data page covers the 472 incidents recorded in the official police open-data feed for the Ontario municipality during the complete calendar year. The feed groups incidents into a small set of categories, with "Other" accounting for 417 incidents (88.3%); this page also breaks that Other group into the same subcategories available on the interactive map, such as Traffic & MVC, Calls for service, and Bylaw & Provincial. The figures are year totals, not the rolling 60-day map window, which currently displays 344 incidents over a different period.

Reading the breakdown helps residents and local analysts see what sits behind the headline category labels rather than treating "Other" as a residual catch-all. With neighbourhood-level slices not available in this source, the category and date context is the main way to interpret the 2015 open data.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for 2015 because the year series on this page contains only one year, so there is no complete-year pair to compare. The 472 incidents represent the complete 2015 calendar year, not the interactive map's 60-day window, which shows 344 incidents for a different, rolling date range. Since no prior-year count is present in this series, no percentage change or directional shift is reported. Treat the figures as a single-year snapshot of reported incidents in the Espanola open-data layer.

Category breakdown

The top category in Espanola's 2015 open data is "Other," with 417 incidents — 88.3% of the year's 472 total. Theft ranks second with 29 incidents (6.1%), followed by Mischief with 19 (4%). Break and enter accounts for 4 incidents (0.8%), Assault for 2 (0.4%), and Auto theft for 1 (0.2%). The Other category has a defined breakdown: its largest slice is Traffic & MVC, 118 records, or 28.3% of Other and 25% of the year total. Calls for service (106), Bylaw & Provincial (103), and Other crime (78) are the next-largest slices, followed by Drugs (8), Harassment (2), and Weapons offences (2).

Key stats

  • 2015 open-data total: 472 reported incidents.
  • Other led with 417 incidents (88.3% of the year total).
  • Largest Other slice: Traffic & MVC, 118 incidents (28.3% of Other).

What these numbers mean

What stands out in Espanola's 2015 file is the weight of the Other category: 417 of 472 incidents (88.3%) are grouped there rather than under theft, mischief, break and enter, assault, or auto theft. Traffic & MVC is its largest slice at 118 incidents, with Calls for service (106) and Bylaw & Provincial (103) close behind. Violent-category incidents total 2, and Assault is listed separately at 2. The Other group also includes person-related offences such as Harassment (2), distinct from physical assault. The map's 60-day window (344) reflects a different period than the 2015 total (472).

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 (28.3% of Other, 118 records). These are open-data rows, not a separate "mystery crime" class.
  • Data window: 2015.
