Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for 2026 (YTD, through Jul) because the dataset does not contain a prior complete calendar year for comparison. The current record series shows 6,815 incidents logged in 2026 (YTD, through Jul), matching the dated incident total for this timeframe. Because annual trend calculations require consecutive complete-year pairs, percentage changes cannot be calculated for this partial-year period. Readers should evaluate these incident counts as a standalone open-data snapshot for London, Ontario, rather than drawing comparative historical trend conclusions.

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 Weapons offences (43.1% of Other, 69 records). These are open-data rows, not a separate "mystery crime" class.
  • Data window: 2026 (YTD, through Jul).
