About this data

The 2019 crime data for Shelburne, Ontario, reflects all reported incidents recorded in the municipal open‑data feed for that calendar year, sourced from Shelburne’s official police open‑data portal (Ontario). The totals represent the complete archive for 2019, not the short���term map view, and include both dated and undated records, providing a transparent snapshot of incident volumes for community insight and planning.

The interactive map on the site displays a rolling 60‑day window, which captured 482 incidents—a subset of the full‑year total of 807 reported incidents.

Recent trend

Year‑over‑year change is not available for the 2019 period because the archive’s year series contains only this single year, so no complete prior year exists for comparison. Because the dataset currently includes only the 2019 record, there is no earlier calendar year to calculate a change. Consequently the page cannot report a year‑over‑year percentage or absolute difference, and trends cannot be assessed directly from this data alone. Users seeking historical change should consult the broader archive once additional years become available.

Category breakdown

In 2019, the dominant category was "Other," accounting for 789 incidents, which is 97.8% of the total. Within the "Other" roll‑up, the leading sub‑category was Traffic & MVC with 603 incidents, representing 74.7% of all incidents. Mischief ranked second among specific categories, with 8 incidents (1% of the total), followed by Assault with 6 incidents (0.7%). Theft contributed 3 incidents (0.4%), and Break and enter recorded a single incident (0.1%). These figures illustrate that the vast majority of reported incidents fell under the broad "Other" classification, driven largely by traffic‑related events.

Key stats

  • Total incidents in 2019: 807.
  • Violent incidents (assault, etc.) total: 6.
  • "Other" category accounts for 789 incidents (97.8% of total).
  • Mischief incidents: 8 (1% of total).
  • Assault incidents: 6 (0.7% of total).
  • Traffic & MVC incidents (sub‑category of Other): 603 (74.7% of total).

What these numbers mean

Shelburne’s 2019 incident profile is overwhelmingly characterised by the "Other" category, which covers 97.8% of all reports and is driven mainly by traffic‑related events—603 of the 807 total incidents (74.7%). Violent offences are very low, with just six incidents, matching the assault count. The dominance of traffic incidents suggests that most police activity in the year involved road‑related matters rather than property or personal crimes, a pattern that may inform local safety initiatives.

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 Traffic & MVC (76.4% of Other, 603 records). These are open-data rows, not a separate "mystery crime" class.
  • Data window: 2019.
