Richmond crime 2026

In 2026, open-data records for Richmond, British Columbia include a total of 876 reported incidents. This in-progress figure accounts for 4.4% of the 20,098 total incidents documented city-wide across the entire 15-year dataset spanning from 2012 through 2026.

Because 2026 is an active, partial reporting year, the current 876 incidents should be viewed alongside the 1,520 incidents logged throughout 2025 rather than as a completed annual total. Readers should note that annual incident totals reflect municipal open-data reporting and processing rather than per-capita risk.

Year-over-year

The 876 incidents logged for Richmond in 2026 reflect an ongoing, partial calendar year. In comparison, full-year figures for 2025 reached 1,520 incidents, while 2024 recorded 1,620 incidents and 2023 saw 2,368 incidents. Because data collection for 2026 is incomplete, raw incident counts from this partial window cannot be converted into an annual percentage change against 2025. Across the 15-year dataset from 2012 to 2026, annual figures have ranged from a low of 1,064 incidents in 2012 to a high of 2,368 in 2023. These numbers show past administrative logs and do not indicate per-capita risk.
