About this data

This page summarises open-data crime records for Perth South, Ontario, for 2026 (YTD, through Jul). The headline total is 9 reported incidents, drawn from the latest calendar year in the full archive rather than the interactive map's short window. These counts cover auto theft, fraud, and theft; the open feed records 0 incidents in violent categories for the period. The source is the official police open-data feed covering Perth South, published through Ontario's open-data portal.

This page is useful because it shows the composition of reported incidents in Perth South during the 2026 year-to-date period — which categories dominate and how many records are present — while keeping the caveat that these are reported incidents recorded in the open-data feed. The interactive map, by contrast, shows only the most recent 60-day window, which currently contains 4 records; the year/YTD totals on this page provide the fuller 2026 picture.

Recent trend

A year-over-year comparison is not available for 2026 (YTD, through Jul). The available year series for Perth South contains only 2026, with 9 incidents, so there is no complete prior-year pair to measure change against. The 2026 total is therefore a single-year snapshot rather than a trend. Because the current year is still open and the series does not yet include earlier calendar years, no percentage change is presented for this period.

Category breakdown

Auto theft and Fraud are tied for the top category in Perth South's 2026 (YTD, through Jul) open-data feed, each with 4 incidents and 44.4% of the 9-record total.

What these numbers mean

Perth South's 2026 YTD open-data feed is small: 9 records, all in property or financial categories. Auto theft and fraud are tied at 4 each (44.4%), with theft at 1 (11.1%). The feed shows 0 violent-category incidents, so the page's profile is entirely auto theft, fraud, and theft. Because the year series starts at 2026, there is no trend baseline yet; the 4-record 60-day map window underscores how limited the current data is. Readers should not infer broader safety claims from this sparse layer.

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.
  • Data window: 2026 (YTD, through Jul).
