Recent trend

The 2026 dataset covers only a 60-day window, so year-over-year comparisons are not available. The 1,109 incidents recorded during this period serve as a baseline for future analysis. Without prior-year data, it is not possible to determine whether this represents an increase, decrease, or stable trend.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

Halifax's 60-day snapshot shows a clear concentration in assaults and property crimes, with assault alone accounting for over half of all incidents. The absence of neighbourhood-level data limits deeper geographic analysis, but the high proportion of thefts from vehicles (27.9%) and break-ins (10.9%) suggests property crime remains a significant concern. The 1,109-incident total reflects only a two-month window, so broader trends cannot yet be assessed.
