About this data

This page summarizes reported crime for Markham, Ontario on its latest reporting day, Latest day (2026-10-12), using York Regional Police open data. The headline total is 2 incidents for that day, with both records classified as Assault. Markham is published as part of the York Region regional feed, with municipality pages split from that open layer, so figures here reflect Markham records only.

The daily snapshot is useful for seeing the most recent occurrence mix without mixing it with year-to-date totals. For context, the interactive map shows a separate 60-day rolling window with 1,300 incidents. Both incidents were attributed to the Milliken West neighbourhood. Police may still add reports for 2026-10-12, so the count of 2 for that day can rise as late records are processed.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-12) headline total of 2 incidents, because a single-day count cannot be compared to a full prior year. The dated archive runs from 2021 to 2026, with 7,407 dated records assigned to 2026, which remains an incomplete year and is not a full annual total. For full-archive calendar context only, 2025 recorded 10,376 incidents compared with 10,250 in 2024, an increase of 1.2% across those two complete years. That calendar comparison is separate from both the latest-day headline and the 60-day map window.

Category breakdown

The Latest day (2026-10-12) mix in Markham consisted of 2 incidents, all classified as Assault, representing 100% of the day's records. No other categories were recorded for that day in the published open-data extract. With only 2 records, the percentage reflects the small daily denominator rather than a longer-term pattern. York Regional Police published both records with occurrence dates on 2026-10-12, and police may still add late reports for that day. The Milliken West neighbourhood accounted for both Assault records. The 60-day map window totals 1,300 incidents, illustrating how daily counts vary against recent activity. That comparison uses the published open-data extract.

What this means
