Assault in Markham

This page covers assault incidents in Markham, Ontario, as recorded in the open-data archive used by CrimeMaps.ca. The featured count is 766 assault records for 2026 year-to-date through July, based on the full annual archive rather than the rolling 60-day map window. Assault represents 13% of Markham's 5,889 citywide incidents across all categories in this same open-data period.

Within the dataset, assault ranks 4th of Markham's 12 categories. This page also lists the neighbourhoods with the largest published assault counts for 2026: Markham 16th (90), Markham Hagerman (82), Markham East (75), Cornell (71), and Milliken West (63). Because 2026 is a year-to-date period, the 766 figure is a partial-year count; the complete series shows 1,303 assault incidents in 2025 and 1,205 in 2024. These are counts of reported incidents, not rates.
