About this data
This Hamilton page summarises 4 incidents recorded on 2026-10-08, the latest occurrence day in the municipal open-data feed for Ontario. The figures reflect the city's latest exact occurrence day within 7 days of ingest, drawn from the official police / municipal open-data portal, and describe what was published for that date at the time of capture. Police may still add reports for 2026-10-08, so the count can rise.
The daily view is useful for checking very recent activity without mixing it with longer totals. For context, the interactive map's separate 60-day rolling tier holds 457 incidents, while the 2026 dated series holds 1,472 records. Readers can use the daily count alongside the map to see how 2026-10-08 compares with recent weeks, keeping in mind that a single day is a small sample.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-08) period. The year series provided for trend context contains a single entry, with 1,472 incidents dated to 2026, so there is no prior complete year to form a comparison pair. The full on-disk archive likewise lists 1,505 incidents in 2026, with no earlier calendar year shown. The headline figure of 4 incidents describes 2026-10-08 only, not an annual total, and should not be read as a yearly directional increase or decrease.
Category breakdown
For Latest day (2026-10-08), the breakdown contains a single listed category. Auto theft accounts for 4 incidents, representing 100% of the 4 incidents published for that day. No other category rows are listed for 2026-10-08, so there are no additional counts or percentages to rank behind Auto theft for this date. This mix describes the day's published records only, rather than Hamilton's longer 2026 profile, where the 2026 dated series totals 1,472 records and the 60-day map tier totals 457 incidents. A one-category day is a narrow snapshot, and later reporting for 2026-10-08 could add other types if police publish additional records.
What this means
What stands out for Hamilton is how concentrated 2026-10-08 was: all 4 incidents were recorded as Auto theft, or 100% of the day, with no other categories listed for that date. That uniformity is notable against the broader context of 457 incidents in the 60-day map tier and 1,472 dated records in 2026. Late reports could change the mix, so the day reads best as a brief snapshot rather than a signal about Hamilton's longer pattern.
FAQ
How many incidents were reported in Hamilton on the latest day?
Hamilton recorded 4 incidents on 2026-10-08, which is the Latest day (2026-10-08) reporting day in this feed. That 4-incident total is the day's count only, not a year total and not the interactive map's 60-day total of 457 incidents. Police may still add reports for 2026-10-08, so the day's count can rise as late reports are processed.
What type of incident was most reported on that day?
Auto theft was the only category recorded for 2026-10-08, with 4 incidents accounting for 100% of that day's total. No other categories were listed for the Latest day (2026-10-08) in Hamilton. For context, the dated 2026 file holds 1,472 incidents, but the 4 auto theft records describe the single reporting day, not the full year mix.
Is Hamilton trending up or down compared with last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period because the series contains only 2026, with 1,472 dated incidents. The full on-disk archive also lists only 2026, with 1,505 incidents, so there is no complete prior year to compare. Once a second complete calendar year is published, a like-for-like annual comparison can be shown for Hamilton.
Which neighbourhoods in Hamilton had the most incidents?
Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for this Hamilton source, so the 4 incidents on 2026-10-08 cannot be split by neighbourhood. The feed publishes city-level records without a neighbourhood field for this period. If Hamilton publishes neighbourhood geography in a later release, those splits can be added, but the current file supports only the city total.
Where does this Hamilton data come from?
These counts come from the official police / municipal open-data portal for Ontario, as published for Hamilton. The portal provides the 4 records for 2026-10-08 and the larger 2026 dated file of 1,472 incidents used for year context. Definitions and late-reporting practices follow the publisher, so categories reflect how the portal codes each occurrence.
How up to date is the Hamilton data?
The data is current through 2026-10-08, the Latest day (2026-10-08) reporting day with 4 incidents. Police may still add reports for that day, so the count can rise. This is separate from the interactive map's rolling 60-day window, which holds 457 incidents, and from the 2026 dated file of 1,472 incidents.
